This class surveys LGBTQ+ reproduction through several theoretical lenses. We will explore definitions of &quot;family&quot; and &quot;parenting&quot; across time and cultures. What makes someone a parent? What are the rights and responsibilities of this role? How has this role been defined in relationship to sexual orientation and biological relatedness across time and across cultures? We will explore the biological, social, cultural, and legal experiences of LGBTQ+ family-making, including explorations of pregnancy, childbirth, IVF and donor sperm/eggs, surrogacy, adoption, divorce, and marriage.
