In keeping with the theme of “Emancipatory Sociology: Rising To The Du Boisian Challenge,” this panel, sponsored by Sociologists for Women in Society that is celebrating its 50th anniversary year, discusses contemporary research on feminist-related health and reproductive rights as a form of emancipation for a more feminist world. It examines health, sexual health, and reproductive rights of women and those who identify as trans, non-binary, and intersex. Issues that will be addressed include gender-based violence and domestic violence during the pandemic, medical work, and the reproduction of racial, economic, and gender inequality, reproductive rights and access to abortion, issues facing trans, non-binary, and intersex populations specifically as they relate to healthcare during a pandemic, and reproductive health issues of women with disabilities.
