Chapters by cutting-edge reproductive scholars, practitioners, and advocates address the social control of fertility and pregnancy, the promises and perils of assisted reproductive technologies, experiences of pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, and birth, and how individuals make sense of and respond to the cultural, social, and political forces that condition their reproductive lives. The book takes an intersectional approach and considers how gender, sexuality, fatness, disability, class, race, and immigration status impact both an individual's health and the healthcare they receive. The inclusion of timely topics such as increased legal limitations on abortion, transpeople and reproduction, and new developments in assisted reproduction and family formation, speaks to the current generation of students. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn essential text for undergraduate and graduate courses on families, gender, public health, reproduction, and sexuality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caitlin Killian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798881801540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/12\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Caitlin Killian","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47002085327103,"sku":"9798881801540","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08c31b91-6e33-4119-933c-410eb964a8bd.jpg?v=1751603040","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/understanding-reproduction-in-social-contexts-caitlin-killian-9798881801540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
