講題摘要：
How might we understand the stakes of LGBTQ childbearing and family formation in a time of rapid changes in legal recognition and growing global demographic anxieties about declining fertility and population aging?  As conflicts over reproductive health, justice, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) intensify around the world, they percolate through national marriage and family policies to foster hierarchies of privileged and marginalized reproductive citizens. This talk examines recent LGBTQ family formation debates in Taiwan following the country’s 2019 legalization of same-sex marriage and subsequent expansion in LGBTQ family rights and recognition. Despite these legal reforms, Taiwan continues to restrict access to ARTs to medically infertile heterosexual spouses, excluding singles and same-sex couples. Building from ethnographic research with LGBTQ parents, intending parents, and advocacy organizations in Taiwan, this talk analyzes public debates over expanding ART access in relation to existing and potential future patterns of LGBTQ childbearing and family formation. It maps reproductive stratification through changing configurations of hetero- and homonormative reproductive citizenship that reveal growing contestation over parental and children’s rights, women’s bodily autonomy, and diverse family-making practices.
