HIST 63.04 The Means of Reproduction: Health, Bodies, Technologies

How does our understanding of the past change when we center the politics of reproduction? This course invites students to approach global history through the history of reproductive technology. Tracing an arc from the late-eighteenth to the twenty-first century, we will consider the role of reproductive politics and technologies in relation to histories of slavery, colonialism, feminist and environmental movements, Cold War conflicts, postcolonial state-making, and contemporary religious nationalisms.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
