Calls for submissions
The Emerald Studies in Reproduction, Culture and Society brings together scholars from across the social sciences and humanities to explore the diverse aspects of human reproduction.
Aims and scope
Books in Emerald Studies in Reproduction, Culture and Society focus on the social, cultural, material, legal, historical and political aspects of human reproduction, encouraging work from early career researchers as well as established scholars. Covering topics such as conception, contraception, abortion, pregnancy, birth, infertility, IVF, surrogacy, and adoption, the series examines social, cultural, legal, and political dimensions. Contributors use the latest conceptual, methodological and theoretical developments to enhance and develop current thinking about human reproduction and its significance for understanding wider social practices and processes. Featuring monographs, edited collections, and shortform books (between 20-50,000 words), the series promotes cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary debate, expanding the visibility and scope of reproduction studies.
