During the Gender Conference in Turku Nov 22-24, https://blogit.utu.fi/supupaivat2018/en/, I am organising a workshop on trans and queer reproduction. The deadline for the call for papers has been extended to Sep 14. If you are interested to present at my workshop, please contact me (more details on abstract etc. are in the conference link) and feel free to share the CFP!
Workshop details:
Trans & Queer Reproduction: Legal, Cultural and Socioeconomic Challenges
Language: English
Workshop coordinator:
Doris Leibetseder, doris.leibetseder@gender.uu.se, Uppsala University, Sweden
Changes in the legal access to ART (Assisted Reproductive Technologies) for trans and queer people in different countries have created both challenges and possibilities for LGBTQ-people’s reproduction. Some trans and queer people circumvent restrictive laws (not only concerning LGBTQ access to ART, but also still existing sterilization-requirement laws, or limiting the technological access by age, relationship status and class) in their own country and make use of fertility travels. However, there are many cases where those either travelling or using local ARTs still experience legal and administrative problems with birth and parental certificates.
This workshop will explore what the challenges for trans and queer reproduction are, and how they might be solved. The purpose of this workshop is firstly, to provide an opportunity for the participants to present their diverse views and research findings on the subject and secondly, to create an interdisciplinary network where we can plan publications, project submissions or LGBTIQ-community outreach activities together.
