CFP: Feminism, Autonomy & Reproductive Technology
A Special Journal Edition in Techne: Research in Philosophy and Technology
The aim of this special issue is to offer an interdisciplinary analysis
focusing on reproductive technology from philosophical and psychological
perspectives, including diverse approaches from within each (feminist
theory, analytic philosophy and continental philosophy, developmental
theory, psychopathology and ethology.)  We welcome papers that address
questions such as these: How might the use of technology help or hinder
women's autonomy during labor and birth? Given recent developments in
reproductive technology, do we need to rethink the concept of autonomy as it
relates to labor and birth? Which social attitudes might pressure or coerce
women to use technology during labor and birth? What social norms and values
might pressure women differently within different societies to use such
reproductive technologies? What attitudes of health care practitioners might
pressure or coerce women to use technology during labor and birth? What
moral and/or political implications follow from the use of technology during
labor and birth and the impact of its use on women's autonomy? Can women
make autonomous choices if they cannot be informed adequately because of a
lack of randomized, controlled studies on the use of technology during labor
and birth? Does informed consent require that physicians inform laboring or
birthing women of alternatives to the use of technology?
Papers must be complete and should not exceed 8000 words, although shorter
papers of at least 6000 words are welcome. All papers will be blind
reviewed. Please list your contact information, the title of your paper and
a brief abstract (of no more than 200 words) in a separate attachment from
your paper. All papers should be sent in regular .doc format with notes
numbered consecutively and placed at the end of the main text rather than as
footnotes. For more details please see the guidelines for submissions on the
journal's site at http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/ejournals/SPT Please enter
"Special Issue Submission" in the subject heading of your paper submission.
All papers should be e-mailed to: Dana Belu, Philosophy Department,
Cal-State University at Dominguez Hills, [log in to unmask], Sylvia Burrow,
Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies, Cape Breton University,
[log in to unmask] and Elizabeth Soliday, Psychology Department,
