March 27–28, 2025
As calls for transnational solidarity among reproductive justice movements emerge, communities are asking how reproductive liberation is tethered to various social movements. Directed by Lina-Maria Murillo (Gender, Women's, & Sexuality Studies and History) and Natalie Fixmer-Oraiz (Communication Studies and Gender, Women's, & Sexuality Studies), this symposium brings together scholars and artists with local, regional, and global perspectives to bear on the pursuit of reproductive justice as the University of Iowa Press launches a new book series, “Locating Reproductive Justice: Global and Regional Perspectives."
Join us for transnational, cross-disciplinary conversations featuring readings, seminars, and discussions on March 27–28, 2025, in Iowa City.
About the book series:
The University of Iowa Press’s Locating Reproductive Justice series brings the global and regional aspects of this movement to a broad, general audience. While the use of reproductive justice as a term started in the United States, numerous scholars and activists have noted that reproductive justice is deeply rooted in international movements for gender equality and human rights. Therefore, this series focuses on expanding the geographical location of reproductive justice as a theory and practice, providing a space for writers, thinkers, scholars, and activists to engage across borders.
