Resituating abortion: Bio-politics, Global Health and Rights in Neo-liberal Times. (360G-Wellcome-106291_Z_14_Z)

£4,990

The aim of the meeting is to bring together an international group of senior and junior researchers, practitioners and policy makers to deliberate upon the relationship between abortion, globalisation and neo-liberal reform. The meeting will especially address the transformation occurring in medical and legal cultures, its effect on practitioners and on the lived experience of abortion across the global north and south. Do new forms of health governance and rights based development paradigms pre sent new opportunities or limit abortion provision conceptually and on-the-ground? The workshop will also serve as a platform to launch a reproduction, technologies and health network, co-ordinated by the centre for Centre for Cultures of Reproduction, Technologies and Health at the University of Sussex. Graduate researchers will play a key role in co-organising the event. For wider dissemination, the papers presented will be brought together in the form of a special issue of a journal (such as Global Public Health).
