Histoire de la reproduction

Reproductive History Graduate Symposium

Call for Papers


Reproductive History Graduate Symposium, University of Wisconsin-Madison, April 29, 2022

The organizers of this symposium invite scholars from across the Midwest to join us in deepening our collective understanding of local and global histories of reproduction. With the goal of spotlighting and workshopping the scholarship of graduate students, we seek to connect with others working in the field of reproductive history and engage in interdisciplinary and transnational conversations that engage with subthemes such as:
  • Eugenics, Empire, and Population Control
  • Failed and Assisted Reproduction
  • Families, Kinship, and Adoption
  • Fetuses, Infants, and Childhood
  • Gender and Biomedical Technologies
  • “Othered” Bodies: Race, Transness, and Disability
  • Sexuality and Queer Intimacies

We plan to host the symposium in person but may have to transition to an online modality at a later date in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Decision date: January 25, 2022 
Symposium: April 29, 2022
