Anna Wood is interested in how people with uteruses negotiate race, gender, sex, and class through reproductive technologies. Her doctoral research explores Colombia’s bourgeoning transnational surrogacy industry and its impact on reproductive labor and female agency. This project draws from feminist and queer theory, STS (science and technology studies), reproductive justice, and medical anthropology to explore how kinship and reproduction become racially stratified when mediated through privatized ARTs (assisted reproductive technologies). Anna plans to focus on global surrogacy as a site of material and colonial profit while also complicating feminist notions of bodily exploitation. Anna previously conducted an undergraduate honors thesis on hormonal contraceptives and menstruation, as well as qualitative research for the Bay Area’s public sector.
