As SU Gender, we are organizing an international webinar series on sexual harassment, gender based violence, diversity and inclusion within and outside the university. In this series, we would like to share experiences with experts, researchers, and activists from different universities, research centers and NGOs, and learn from their expertise. The first of the webinar series will take place on May, 27. You are welcome to join our webinar by registering via the link below.
This talk focuses on the disguised reproductive travels of Turkish citizens seeking donor gametes abroad which are legally unavailable in Turkey. By combining anthropology of secrecy with feminist studies of assisted reproductive technologies, it is argued that these disguised travels constitute a discursive and geographical space at the margins of, but fully integral to, Turkish reproductive biopolitics, in which secrecy is essential to diverse actors (including couples, egg donors, clinics, and the Turkish state) for multiple reasons.
