What issues do you want to cover in it? (I've taught LA Paul's, "What Not to Expect When You're Expecting" before, and it really generated some great discussion.)
Very open, but I’m thinking of a course mostly focused on parental rights (who has them and on what basis) and parental obligations (what are they and how to they square with people’s interests in childrearing).
Particularly keen on recent work on republicanism and political liberalism applied parenting and really interested in good work on very applied questions (e.g., can on gender one’s child? Can on raise a religious child?). Also will probably do some adjacent stuff on gendered division of labor.
Another great one on this topic? Is Manchester the kind of cool uni that would have a course on this? My view is tainted from the days when the dept of politics and the dept of philosophy shared an open floor space and barely talked to each other (& then we left to a bunker across the road)
I once tried to review the international discourse on the ethics of parenthood and the related moral status of the child in my book "Moral Equality, Bioethics, and the Child". https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-319-32402-9
