“Gaining Momentum”In this 2017 article, Sarah Franklin challenges readers to consider new conceptions and the changes in the way we make babies, reminding the reader that “it is an anthropological truism that what a society believes about reproduction tells you what it believes about everything else”.
“Feminist heterosexual imaginaries of reproduction: Lesbian conception in feminist studies of reproductive technologies”In a 2008 article on lesbian conception, Petra Nordqvist argues that “the heterosexual couple constitute the taken for granted unit of reproductive technologies”, affecting most studies on reproductive technologies.
“Bringing Kinship into Being: Connectedness, Donor Conception and Lesbian Parenthood”In a 2014 article, Petra Nordqvist enacted a study on lesbian couples, focusing on what it means to be connected and to find kinship. The author acknowledges that every couple in the study was white and middle class, which feels myopic, but it does offer some insight on same sex couples and parenthood.
