 l \n\nMy honours thesis explores the history of reproductive politics in S
 outh Korea from the 1960s to the early 2010s\, by examining the biopolitic
 al motivation behind population policies and family planning. My research 
 is particularly interested in historicizing how reproduction has been enli
 sted as an instrument of the state’s modernist project\, which is by defin
 ition gendered\, classed\, ableist and an ongoing product of struggles bet
 ween multiple actors. In my presentation\, I pay attention to the intersec
 tional\, historical account of women and queer communities who have been m
 arginalized in the discourses of reproductive politics. Joining feminist s
 cholarship and activism on reproductive justice\, I investigate the assump
 tions that have become normative in reproductive politics and how they hav
 e been mobilized to oppress certain group of women. In doing so\, I hope t
 o broaden what reproductive justice could mean in the current Korean conte
 xt\, when the recent call for an amendment to anti-abortion law took place
  in 2019. By going beyond the pro-choice/pro-life framework\, my thesis an
 d this presentation ultimately tries to imagine a queer\, decolonial and f
 eminist agenda that can rework the ideas of reproduction\, kinship and fam
 ily. \n\nAbigail Drach: “What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank”
 : Whiteness\, Girlishness\, and Biopolitics\n\nExploring the racial\, gend
 ered\, and social dimensions of Anne Frank’s ubiquity in American culture\
 , in this presentation I theorize the relationship between Jewishness and 
 whiteness in contemporary American culture. Anne\, as a metonymic figure f
 or the white Jewish beneficiary of American multiculturalism (despite the 
 fact that her family was denied refuge in the United States during the Hol
 ocaust)\, is an instructive case study in the ambivalent racial status of 
 white American Jews since World War II. With a methodological framework of
  Black feminist theory and girl studies\, this presentation first analyzes
  the whiteness of European-American Jews as constructed through visible\, 
 gendered\, and classed characteristics. Then\, using contemporary theories
  of biopolitics and necropolitics\, I examine how some American Jews’ incl
 usion in whiteness is necessarily predicated on the exclusion\, exploitati
 on\, and violent treatment of Black\, Indigenous\, and Brown populations t
 hrough American white supremacy. Critiquing activist approaches that seek 
 to include more groups within the fold of whiteness\, I ultimately aim to 
 demonstrate how we must dismantle the insidious racial hierarchies that st
 ructure all aspects of American society. \n\nMeera Raman: The Revolution w
 ill be Aestheticized: An Analysis of the Summer 2020 Black Lives Matter In
 stagram Activism\n\nIn this presentation\, I examine the advantages and di
 sadvantages of the Summer 2020 Black Lives Matter activism that took place
  on Instagram. Through an analysis of Instagram posts\, alongside activist
  theory\, I aim to present an argument that highlights the importance of I
 nstagram’s aesthetic dimension in online activism. I will present some of 
 my findings of my data set of Instagram posts\, giving detailed explanatio
 ns on the effects that they produce\, and describe why this activism happe
 ned so largely on the Instagram platform. It is my aim\, through my  thesi
 s and this presentation\, to provide a resource to activists and researche
 rs alike who wish to pursue Instagram activism as a productive tool for so
 cial justice. \n\n________\n\nGraduate Students in the Option in Women and
