The project investigates adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) and young parenthood in Mexico, Cuba and Colombia through three intersecting questions: (i) how does cultural production reflect and regulate understandings of ASRH and young parenthood? (ii) how do cultural representations work with or against ASRH policy and initiatives by governments and NGOs? (iii) how do such interventions correspond to the needs and lived realities of adolescents, especially young parents? With each line of enquiry, we hope to expand our understanding of ASRH, teenage parenthood and to improve the impact of future interventions.
Project methodologies
In order to foster an interdisciplinary, comparative and collaborative approach, the project brings the three contexts (Mexico, Cuba and Colombia) in dialogue through the development of an international research network. Through a series of symposia, the network engages local and national policymakers, regional development actors, NGOs and arts organisations.
Findings will be shared via conference presentations, podcast episodes, a briefing document, a methodological toolkit, blog posts, and academic publications.
