Designing Motherhood Open-Source Curriculum is envisioned as a set of resources that educators and/or students could use to bring topics related to the arc of human reproduction into their design studio and design history classrooms.

The curriculum is tested in two “intensives” at the University of Pennsylvania in fall 2020 and fall 2021 with the students in the School of Design at University of Pennsylvania. The curriculum was supported by the The Sachs Program for Arts Innovation and featured publicly during Design Philadelphia.

The syllabus for the pilot class can be accessed here.

The curriculum is part of the Designing Motherhood project, which is a culmination of activities—exhibitions, books, podcast, and so on—initiated by Michelle Millar Fisher Juliana Barton, Zoë Greggs, and Amber Winick.
