Funded Activity Summary

The Changing Rights to Family Life in Australia: Biomedicine and Legal Governance in Globalisation. This project investigates the impact of globalisation and biomedicine on the constitution of family through a cultural study of legal processes. It compares two contrasting and currently contested cases in Australia (transnational surrogacy arrangements and family reunification in immigration) to study the biomedicalisation of parenthood, the role of reproduction in border politics and legal transformations in governing 'family life'. The research will move beyond a critique of human rights, analysing justifications within legal doctrines, and exploring how the meaning of family is affected by science, capitalism and humanitarianism.
