Listen "“Historicizing Social Egg Freezing: Eugenics, Feminism, and the Commodification of Motherhood”"
Episode Synopsis
Priscilla Yamin, Political Science and 2022–23 OHC Faculty Research Fellow.
“In this talk, I focus on “social egg freezing,” (defined as freezing eggs outside of medical necessity, infertility or in cases of same-sex families) and ask, not how has it changed women’s lives, but why it hasn’t. Rather than examining individual women, I focus on the laws, institutions, discourse, and economic imperatives in which this technology is shaped and how it reproduces unequal motherhood, and new forms of market domestic labor.”
