Democracy and the Demand for (Un)Restricted Self-Determination: Sociology in Times of Contested Reproductive Politics
The relevance of democracy has been unmistakably brought to us in recent months. Self-determination, as the central pillar of democratic societies, often serves as an important compass for political decisions, especially in the field of reproductive and sexual health. But how self-determined can decisions be made about one's lifestyle and reproduction in liberal democracies? An intersectional examination of the subtle changes in self-determination and reproductive politics is needed.
Therefore, in the Sociological Lectures of the summer semester of 2023, we want to discuss how the social dynamics around self-determination and reproductive rights can be grasped and understood between a personal, normative, and institutional level.
We are looking forward to discussing with:
- Fabienne Décieux (Universität Wien)
- Dagmar Vorlíček (Universität Wien)
- Elaheh Mohammadi (Institut für Höhere Studien)
- Susanne Schultz (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main)
