Polina Vlasenko studies the social and economic dimensions of assisted reproduction, including commercial surrogacy and egg donation, with a focus on Eastern Europe and Central Asia (particularly Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, and Kazakhstan). The work examines how reproductive labor is regulated, valued, and experienced by the women involved, often drawing on anthropological and sociological approaches. Recent projects trace the migration of surrogate workers and the workings of egg and ova markets across national borders.
