On April 2, 2024, the Centre for Human Rights Research (CHRR) hosted Dr. Lindsay Larios (UManitoba) for a seminar titled “Migrant Reproductive Justice: Perinatal and abortion care with precarious immigration status.”

Dr. Lindsay Larios is an interdisciplinary critical policy researcher and assistant professor of social work at the University of Manitoba. She studies citizenship and immigration in the Canadian context, in particular, as it intersects with family and reproductive politics and policies. Her most recent work focuses on the politics of pregnancy and childbirth and precarious migration as an issue of reproductive justice. 

This seminar is a part of our annual Critical Conversations seminar series. This year, the seminar series focused on the CHRR’s research theme Reproductive and Bodily Justice and explored histories of the body, reproduction, and care in Canada and beyond.
