Call for Papers for „Crip­ping Repro­duc­tive Jus­tice: Rethink­ing Repro­duc­tive Futures”
Sym­po­sium tak­ing place on Octo­ber 15, 2025, in Barcelona, Spain

This event will bring togeth­er schol­ars and activists to explore the inter­sec­tions of dis­abil­i­ty and repro­duc­tive jus­tice, fos­ter­ing inter­dis­ci­pli­nary dia­logue and chal­leng­ing ableist assump­tions in repro­duc­tive and sex­u­al health poli­cies, prac­tices, and movements.

Keynote Speak­er: Dr. Ali­son Kafer

Dr. Ali­son Kafer is Direc­tor of LGBTQ Stud­ies and Embrey Asso­ciate Pro­fes­sor of Wom­en’s, Gen­der, and Sex­u­al­i­ty Stud­ies at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas at Austin. She is the author of Fem­i­nist, Queer, Crip and co-edi­tor of Crip Genealo­gies. Her work, includ­ing con­tri­bu­tions to Crip Author­ship and Fight­ing Mad: Resist­ing the End of Roe v. Wade, explores dis­abil­i­ty and queer crip world-mak­ing, par­tic­u­lar­ly at the inter­sec­tions of repro­duc­tive, envi­ron­men­tal, gen­der, and racial justice.

We invite abstracts (max. 300 words) for 15-minute pre­sen­ta­tions in Eng­lish that cen­tre dis­abled people’s expe­ri­ences and crit­i­cal­ly engage with repro­duc­tive and dis­abil­i­ty jus­tice frame­works. Con­tri­bu­tions from diverse perspectives—including crip the­o­ry, spec­u­la­tive meth­ods, and inter­sec­tion­al jus­tice approaches—are high­ly encouraged.
