Join us for the Autumn Doctoral Fora as we share and discuss the research of the wonderful researchers and PhD students examining topics in the field of gender, sexuality, sexual/reproductive health, feminist theory, kinship, broadly.

The fora is open to a wide range of scholars from disciplinary locations, to share their work in a friendly and open environment.

This Fall we welcome Arushi Sahay, who will discuss their research on 'Female Sterilisation, Postoperative Imaginaries and Reproductive Futures in Northwest India'; Mingxuan Li 'Medication Use During Pregnancy: Navigating Medical Guidance and Motherhood in Contemporary China'; Gerald Mabweazara 'Framing Surrogacy in Nigeria: An Inductive Content Analysis of Media Representations, Practices, Perceptions and Policy Gaps'; Jolene Yiqiao Kong '“Beseeching for Babies” (qiuzi): When the Sacred Meets the Medical in Contemporary China’s Reproductive Journeys'; and Zara Hirji 'Approaches to Improving Access to Care and Support for Migrant, Refugee and Asylum-Seeking Women and Girls in the United Kingdom who have Experienced Gender-Based Violence - a Scoping Review'. 

We would love for you to attend the event in-person, but if that’s not possible then please email corth@sussex.ac.uk for the Zoom details.
