In sum, expanding reproductive rights pedagogy to address transnational perspectives will aid in exposing a wide range of students to transnational material, will contribute directly to the transnational project to expand students’ preparedness to analyze such materials, and will better reflect the debates on sexual and reproductive health currently taking place outside of law school classrooms–in the courts, among policymakers, and in scholarly writing. Below, we explore in greater detail the current status of reproductive rights teaching, the current casebook treatment of reproductive rights, and the specific ways in which transnational perspectives might be introduced to this material in a range of courses.
