Dr. Jaya Keaney is a Lecturer in Gender Studies at the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne. Her research in queer and feminist science studies explores how reproduction is shaped by scientific knowledge practices and regimes of race, gender, sexuality, and coloniality. Her current research explores the coproduction of racialized inheritance across two projects: a book project about queer families, race, and reproductive technologies; and a research project about the use of scientific models of trauma for anti-racism. Some of her work includes
- Reproduction in the Post-Genomic Age,’ Special Issue with Science, Technology & Human Values vol. 47, Iss. 6 (2022). Co-edited with Sonja van Wichelen.
- ‘The Racialising Womb: Surrogacy and Epigenetic Kinship.’ Science, Technology and Human vol. 47, Iss. 6 (2022).
