SARChI: Critical Studies in Sexualities and Reproduction

Critical Studies in Sexualities and Reproduction Distinguished Professor Catriona Macleod
Chair commencement date: 
January 2014
Relevance of research: Despite the introduction of enabling legislation, and the implementation of a range of intervention, South Africa is faced with multiple challenges surrounding sexuality and reproduction. These include: sexual coercion and violence; transactional sex; HIV infection; rape; hate crimes against sexual minorities; unwanted pregnancies and a high mortality rate. The goal of the Research Chair is to critically assess the social and human dynamics underpinning our slow progress towards full sexual and reproductive citizenship for all.
