Students explore the ways that body rights are understood, accepted, and contested in global historical and contemporary case studies. Through an intersectional lens, students deepen their understanding of theoretical, social, and historical underpinnings of body rights. Through case studies, students investigate systemic inequalities and consider ways to advocate for body rights in different local and global contexts. Prerequisite: Elective course for the proposed MA in Human Rights and Social Justice.
