'The legal regulation of reproduction is ever more contested, legislatively, judicially and politically. In this context, what might a turn to the past reveal? And simultaneously, might a thematic focus on reproduction bring fresh insights to legal historical methods and research?
Organised by the Centre for Law and History Research, the workshop on 'Law, History and Reproduction' explores these questions. The workshop is built around 7 work-in-progress articles studying a diverse range of themes — abortion, gender-based violence, social reproduction, obstetric violence and gender recognition — from an array of contexts — Australia, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malta, Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
It is exciting that many of these themes and contexts extend far beyond abortion in the Global North, which is the most common site of study on the role of law in reproduction. The varied examples add richness and nuance to the discussion, pushing the frontiers of current understandings. Hosted at the University of Bristol Law School, home to a critical mass of leading scholars on reproductive regulation, the workshop promises deep contextual study, enhanced insights, and strengthened solidarity.
