Project 2
Gay men's parenthood choices - An exploratory study
The focus of this research project is on planned same-gendered families, specifically the parenthood decisions (i.e., the choice of whether or not to be a father and associated decisions) of gay-identified men. This research is underpinned by the principle of reproductive justice and motivated by the marginal position that these men occupy both socially and in research on fatherhood and reproductive decision-making.
