Inhalt	This course explores the complex interplay between cultural, social, political, and economic factors in shaping reproductive health and rights. Drawing on medical anthropology, students will critically engage with issues such as contraception, maternal health, abortion, assisted reproductive technologies, and surrogacy. Special attention will be given to the role of international organizations, state policies, and grassroots activism in shaping reproductive justice.
