Post-Roe Abortifacients in a Gender and Health Classroom: Teaching Reproductive Justice in 2022 and Beyond

Abstract

This article argues that as radical instructors who prioritize the role of antiracism in the classroom, we can use Reproductive Justice to create both reimaginings for those resistant to the movement and space for those doing this work. In white male spaces and institutions, it is important for us to hold up racist and sexist institutions and structures, such as ideas around health and the practice of health care, as central to our understandings of the globe. The writer discusses how beginning from the Reproductive Justice framework radically changed the classroom in her course titled the Global Politics of Gender and Health.
