Black queer being/knowing/feeling as discursive terrain for reimagining reproduction
This dissertation, "Black Queer Being/Knowing/Feeling as Discursive Terrain for Reimagining Reproduction" centers and conceptualizes Black Queer folks' (cisgendered and non-cisgendered) lived experiences with gestation through storytelling. I put into dialog a study of in-depth interviews with Black queer gestational parents and discourse analysis of the only popular television representation of a Black Queer main character's gestational journey utilizing assisted reproductive technology in Netflix's Masters of None's "Moments in Love." By blending analysis of fictional storytelling and people's lived experiences, I highlight continuities and ruptures in reproduction discourses and raise possibilities for reimagining reproduction (e.g., reproductive health services, care, politics, and information) through a justice-oriented Black Queer lens.
