This course explores several theoretical lenses, disciplinary approaches, and substantive topical areas relating to reproductive and sexual health. We will begin the course by investigating the development of both "reproductive justice" and "sexual health" as phenomena in public health research, policy, and programs, looking back to feminist responses to population control policies of the 1970s (weeks 1 and 2). In week 3 students will learn the ropes of project development. The subsequent weeks of the semester (4 to 13) will cover substantive topical areas in the field (e.g., adolescent sexual development, contraception, sexual and reproductive violence). Course materials will expose students to epidemiological and data-driven aspects of these topics (e.g., prevalence, trends, definitions) as well as feminist socio-cultural critiques of the empirical research.
