Call for Papers

Mini-Conference on the Sociology of Reproduction

Eastern Sociological Society

Boston, MA

March 17-21, 2016

The Sociology of Reproduction is a thriving area of research within our
discipline. Over the past several years, the Eastern Sociological Society
has sponsored mini-conferences on the Sociology of Reproduction in
conjunction with its annual meeting. Such sessions bring together scholars
with a common area of research that might otherwise be divided across the
subfields of medicine, family, population, reproductive rights, politics,
organizations, and communications. Sharing a panel challenges traditional
thinking within subfields and promotes cross-cutting conversations that lead
to new, cutting-edge insights.

We are soliciting papers for the 2016 Mini Conference on the Sociology of
Reproduction to take place at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological
Society, March 17-21, in Boston, MA. We welcome papers on such topics as
contraception, fertility intentions, fertility decision-making, pregnancy,
abortion, infertility, reproductive technology, birth, ideologies of
motherhood, breastfeeding, genetic counseling, reproduction and the media,
male involvement in reproduction, reproduction politics, etc.

Those wishing to present papers may either submit their papers through the
regular ESS submission process at <http://www.meetingsavvy.org/ess>
http://www.meetingsavvy.org/ess or send an abstract of no longer than one
page to Larry Greil at <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask]. If you
submit your paper through the website, please note that you would like the
paper to be considered for the Sociology of Reproduction mini-conference.
The deadline for abstracts is October 31, 2015.

Organizers:

Heather Jacobson, University of Texas at Arlington

Arthur L. Greil, Alfred University

Liberty Barnes, University of Cambridge
