Cal Volks' research uncovers how digital platforms shape donor reproductive practices and kinship identity formation in donor-assisted reproduction. His work shows that online spaces allow Australian egg and sperm donors and recipients to meet online, negotiate relationships, and co-construct moral and ethical norms involving donor, recipient, and donor-conceived child triads. His studies reveal that digital infrastructures uncover new forms of reproductive citizenship. Cal has previously worked in the HIV/AIDS & Inclusivity Unit at the University of Cape Town, where he conducted research and taught students in developing and evaluating sexual reproductive health interventions. Currently, he is a research fellow at Monash University, collaborating with Prof. Andrea Whittaker on an ARC grant focused on oocyte mobilities and uterus transplants in Southern Africa. Cal has delivered and engaged in a range of policy education interventions targeting various stakeholders, ensuring that his research has a real-world impact.
