Description

What does it mean to be a man in our biomedical day and age? Through ethnographic explorations of the everyday lives of Danish sperm donors, Being a Sperm Donor explores how masculinity and sexuality are reconfigured in a time in which the norms and logics of (reproductive) biomedicine have become ordinary. It investigates men’s moral reasoning regarding donation, their handling of transgressive experiences at the sperm bank, and their negotiations of gender, sexuality, intimacy, and relatedness, showing how the socio-cultural and political dimensions of (reproductive) biomedicine become intertwined with men’s intimate sense of self.

Author Biography:

Sebastian Mohr is Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies at the Centre for Gender Studies, Karlstad University. As an ethnographer of gender, sexuality, and intimacy, his work explores the intersections of gender, sexuality, and intimacy in the areas of health politics, (digital) health and (reproductive) technology, masculinity, and militarization. He has a special interest in the history of queer ethnography and in how ethnography’s epistemological, methodological, and ethical underpinnings relate to queer-feminist theorizing and empirical research. Sebastian is Managing Editor for NORMA: International Journal for Masculinity Studies, Editor at Women, Gender & Research (Kvinder, Køn & Forskning), and on the Editorial Board of Reproductive Biomedicine & Society Online. He is Co-Coordinator of the Research Network Sexuality of the European Sociological Association.
