Syracuse University class highlights queer and intersectional perspectives on reproduction

Syracuse University will offer a new “Reproductive Justice” honors course this fall that highlights “feminist, queer, and intersectional perspectives.”

“Reproductive Justice” (HNR 360 M005) is being offered through the Renée Crown University Honors Program.

“This interdisciplinary Honors seminar centers feminist, queer, and intersectional perspectives to examine the politics of reproduction,” the course description states. “Students will engage with critical scholarship and global perspectives to better understand how reproductive rights and freedoms are shaped by historical, social, and political forces.”

The course will prompt students to consider “who is granted the right to reproduce, under what conditions, and with what consequences.”

Campus Reform reported on June 15 that Syracuse approved a 3.9 percent tuition increase that raised the annual cost of attendance from $66,580 to $69,180.

Dana Olwan, who is teaching “Reproductive Justice,” is an associate professor in Syracuse’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

Her faculty page describes her research as focused on the “nexus of feminist theorizations of gendered and sexual violence, solidarities across geopolitical and racial differences, and feminist pedagogies.”

Olwan’s past research has been connected to pro-abortion advocacy, including a 2016 report titled “A Call to Action: Insights into the Status of Funding for Indigenous Women’s Groups.”

The report thanks Olwan for contributing research and includes a section dedicated to the fund Amplify Change, which lists “addressing the causes of unsafe abortion including decriminalization of abortion and supporting women’s rights to safe and legal abortion” as key themes.
