APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to a free seminar by Professor Sally Hines and Dr Ruth Pearce (University of Leeds).

Title: Trans Masculine Experiences and Practices of Reproduction: Gender, Bodies and Identities

Drawing on initial data from an ongoing qualitative research project funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC): ‘Trans Masculine Pregnancy: An International Exploration of Trans Masculine Practices of Reproduction’, this paper considers the ways in which trans masculine practices of pregnancy and birth bring new meanings to the gendered nature of reproduction, and, in particular, transform dominant understandings of gendered reproductive bodies. Using case studies from indepth interviews with trans masculine people who have become pregnant and given birth, the paper explores how issues surrounding gendered and embodied and identity are experienced and negotiated through pregnancy and birth. The paper will conclude that trans masculine practices of reproduction raise urgent questions for sociological theorisations of gender, identity, embodiment, family and intimacy.
