This lecture introduces students to prominent scholarship on reproductive justice theoretical framework and activism through feminist, anti-racist, anti-colonial, and intersectional lenses which recognize the need to sustain families and communities. Students will explore the history of access to reproductive care and the challenges to this access that women of colour, Indigenous women, incarcerated people, disabled people, and trans and non-binary people face. Students will use a decolonial approach to examine laws and policies that impact the reproductive autonomy of marginalized peoples.
