DESCRIPTION:Tackling the Overpopulation Myth and Climate Change\n\nThe cli
 mate crisis disproportionately affects those living in the global South\, 
 with potentially devastating impacts on maternal and infant health\, acces
 s to safe birthing and abortion conditions and reproductive autonomy. Mean
 while\, the discourse around the environmental impacts of reproduction has
  been tainted by racist myths about overpopulation and fertility and a his
 tory of forced sterilisation of indigenous and ethnic minority groups.\n\n
 Featuring academic panel members across the fields of biological sciences\
 , sociology\, gender studies and history\, these seminars discuss how clim
 ate change and reproductive justice intersect. We will address topics such
  as the overpopulation myth\, environmental racism\, and social inequaliti
 es utilising reproductive justice as our framework and highlight the centr
 ality of reproduction as a form of political intervention.\n\nRegister at
