More recently, it has been increasingly taken up by feminist intersectional politics in various contexts. In her lecture, Dr. Susanne Schultz (Goethe-Universität Frankfurt am Main) will introduce the foci and orientations of this political-theoretical framework. She will point out new insights and also challenges for a feminist politics of reproduction linked to the claim of reproductive justice. And she will present some preliminary results of her ongoing research on reproductive justice in feminist activism in Brazil.
