DESCRIPTION:Why highlight the centrality of reproduction when studying cli
 mate change? Hosted by Dr R Sánchez-Rivera\n\nThe climate crisis dispropo
 rtionately affects those living in the global South\, with potentially dev
 astating impacts on maternal and infant health\, access to safe birthing a
 nd abortion conditions and reproductive autonomy. Meanwhile\, the discours
 e around the environmental impacts of reproduction has been tainted by rac
 ist myths about overpopulation and fertility and a history of forced steri
 lisation of indigenous and ethnic minority groups.\n\nFeaturing academic p
 anel members across the fields of biological sciences\, sociology\, gender
  studies and history\, these seminars discuss how climate change and repro
 ductive justice intersect. We will address topics such as the overpopulati
 on myth\, environmental racism\, and social inequalities utilising reprodu
 ctive justice as our framework and highlight the centrality of reproductio
 n as a form of political intervention.\n\nRegister at https://forms.office
