Professor Beth Burkstrand-Reid's article, "From Sex for Pleasure to Sex for Procreation: How the Law Manufactures Mothers," has been accepted for publication by the Hastings Law Journal, at the University of California Hastings College of Law.
Her paper focuses on how reproductive and sexual health law and policy casts all women as mothers regardless of whether they have or intend to give birth. The Hastings Law Journal is ranked as one of the top 35 law reviews out of more than 1,600 according to the Washington and Lee Law Journals Rankings. This April, Burkstrand-Reid will present her article at the American University Washington College of Law symposium Gender Matters: Women, Social Policy, and the 2012 Election.
