Based on a recent MA thesis in social anthropology, this seminar explores what it may mean to be “sperm donor conceived” – that is, what are the effects of knowing that one was conceived and born as a result of a sperm donation? What aspects of life are affected, and why and how? The empirical data is based on a six-month fieldwork conducted in California and involves 19 donor conceived persons. Thematically the seminar will primarily touch on concepts of identity, family and genetics.
