SUMMARY:WGSS Speaker Series presents: Mytheli Sreenivas
DESCRIPTION:\nMytheli Sreenivas professor and chair of women's\, gender 
	and sexuality studies\, and professor of history at Ohio State Universit
	y will be joining WGSS and South Asian studies for a presentation on “Po
	pulation\, Eugenics\, and Reproductive (In)Justice: Legalizing Abortion 
	in India”\n\nAfter the Dobbs decision\, which ended the constitutional r
	ight to abortion in the United States\, some supporters of abortion righ
	ts celebrated India’s more liberal law\, which had recently been amended
	 to allow abortion until 24 weeks of gestation. Beginning from this star
	k divergence in Indian and U.S. histories of abortion\, this talk takes 
	a deeper look at the origins and implications of legalizing abortion in 
	India. Tracing the historical roots of legal abortion in population cont
	rol and eugenics\, I situate abortion within a wider politics of reprodu
	ction in India—a politics that has not centered the rights of women and 
	pregnant persons but has instead asserted the government’s control over 
	the reproductive capacities of marginalized women. I also consider how w
	e might grapple with these difficult\, sometimes painful histories\, in 
	order to envision more just reproductive futures.\n\nFor more details: h
