Anthropology 306 - Anthropology of Reproduction

This course covers major issues in the anthropology of reproduction, including the relationship between production and reproduction, the gendered division of labor, the state and reproductive policy, embodied metaphors of procreation and parenthood, fertility control and abortion, crosscultural reproductive ethics, and the social implications of new reproductive technologies. We examine the social construction of reproduction in a variety of cultural contexts.

This course is open to Juniors and Seniors. This course is limited to Anthropology and Gender Studies majors.
