Reproductive Technologies, Reproductive Justice
2020年2月7日至8日

A two-day working conference at Harvey Mudd College brought together a small collection of scholars working on technologies related to reproduction at all stages, 包括pre-conception, 怀孕, 分娩和产后护理, 重点是公平问题, 准入和/或道德.

这个广阔的组织者, interdisciplinary conference was Alyssa Newman, a sociologist of race and ethnicity. Her research interests center on the production of racial meaning with a focus on multiraciality. She explores these topics through research projects relating to collective identity formation; biology and genetics; the intersection of mixedness and masculinity; as well as family relationships and reproduction. As the Hixon-Riggs Early Career Fellow in 科学 and 技术 Studies, she is especially interested in assisted reproductive technologies and how they reinforce notions of racial difference.

Newman received a PhD in sociology with a doctoral emphasis in black studies from the University of California Santa Barbara. Her undergraduate degree is also in sociology from the University of California Berkeley, where she minored in African American studies and demography. Her research on multiraciality highlights the ways in which racialized stereotypes shape notions of mixed-race desirability. 具体地说, it traces shifting perceptions of mixedness from early portrayals of “hybrid-degeneracy” to the current celebratory and valorized constructions of multiraciality.
