Jackson<\/em> that \u201cthe right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation\u2019s history and tradition.\u201d In the aftermath of the ruling, millions of people find themselves with less reproductive autonomy and health-care providers are struggling to navigate a new legal playing field. At the same time, the opinion appears to invite challenges to other deeply held rights, such as birth control, marriage equality, and gender equality.<\/p>\n<p>This conference seeks to bring together scholars who examine the intersectional legal histories of regulating and policing sex, gender, and reproduction. As attacks on gender and sexual equality are on the rise, advocates point towards history as justification for state-enforced heteronormativity and traditional gender roles. This conference addresses the court\u2019s claim to diagnose Roe\u2019s \u201cfaulty historical analysis\u201d and invites attendees to examine the interwoven legal histories of gender, race, class, and sexuality that have shaped today\u2019s sociolegal and political landscape. As women, migrants, LGBTQIA, and many more are left trying to navigate a post-Dobbs present, this conference aims to give us a better understanding of how past communities have challenged the law to guarantee greater equality for all.<\/p>\n<p>This one-day conference will be held on\u00a0<b>Friday, May 5th, 2023<\/b>, and is co-sponsored with the <a href=\"https:\/\/shc.stanford.edu\/\">Stanford Humanities Center<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/med.stanford.edu\/medicineandthemuse.html\">Medicine &amp; the Muse<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/gender.stanford.edu\/\">Clayman Institute for Gender Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-69 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-1024x320.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-1024x320.png 1024w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-300x94.png 300w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-768x240.png 768w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-212x66.png 212w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-400x125.png 400w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-355x111.png 355w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-306x96.png 306w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-642x201.png 642w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page-978x306.png 978w, https:\/\/conferences.law.stanford.edu\/legal-histories-of-body-and-state\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/143\/2023\/03\/2023-Logos-for-Conference-Page.png 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On June 24th, 2022, a majority of the U.S. Supreme Court declared in Dobbs v.
