Feminism and Reproductive Rights

Novelafemme · 09-19-2011, 11:33 AM

As many of you know, I am a senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Gender and Women's Studies. In my senior capstone class we have all been assigned the task of participating in/spearheading an intellectual, activist, and/or creative project that will enable us to put feminist critical analysis and theory into practice. This project can take the form of structured work within the community, such as an internship, historical or activist project and should inevitably compliment my GWS classroom studies.

My idea, and why I am sharing this with my fellow Planeteers, is to interview a variety of feminist minded individuals who feel disenfranchised with global/local/individual reproductive rights/issues women are currently faced with...abortion rights in particular. Specifically, I am interested in hearing from the transgendered mtf/ftm/questioning population. Feminism, as an ideology as well as a practical and theoretical tool of knowledge production, is not a concept that died post second wave. So, how can you/we as a burgeoning population work to insight and catapult change for/into future generations?

If you feel so inclined, please post your responses here or feel free to PM me. Your participation is very appreciated!
