With the global expansion of reproductive technologies, there are
ever more ways to create a family, and more family types than ever
before. This book explores the experiences of those persons -
whether single, in a couple, or part of collective co-parenting
arrangements; whether hetero- or homosexual; whether cis- or
transgender - who are creating what has been termed ‘new family
forms’ with reproductive ‘assistance’. Drawing on qualitative
research from around the world, the book is particularly anchored
in two bodies of social science scholarship - sociological and
anthropological inquiries into the cultural impact of reproductive
technologies on the one hand, and parenting culture studies on the
other. It seeks to create fertile conversations between these
scholarships, highlighting the intersections in the ways we think
about conceiving and caring for children in today’s
‘reproductive landscape’. Focusing specifically on persons
whose reproductive journeys do not conform to dominant scripts, the
book traces the many ways in which intentions, expectations and
technological developments contribute to changing and enduring
conceptions of good parenthood in the twenty-first century. Taking
a holistic perspective, the book presents deep insights into the
experiences not only of (intending) parents, but also of donors,
surrogates, medical professionals and activists. The collection
will be of interest to an international readership of scholars of
gender, reproduction, parenting and family life. The chapters in
this book were originally published as a special issue of
Anthropology & Medicine.
