[POSTPONED] Reproductive Injustice: A Salon Honoring Dána-Ain Davis

Dána-Ain Davis, Toni Bond, Cara Page, and Dorothy Roberts

Dána-Ain Davis’s new book Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth (NYU 2019) is a prescient investigation into the high rates of premature birth among Black women, finding that this problem is not explained by economic factors but ideas about race and reproduction with a deeper historical context rooted in the era of slavery.

Tiloma Jayasinghe, Sally MacNichol, Angela Moreno

Between 2011-2012, Sakhi for
 South Asian Women convened two meetings of grassroots organizers

Life (Un)Ltd: Feminism, Bioscience, Race

Rachel C. Lee

Like the symposium, this special issue foregrounds scholarship at the intersections of science and technology studies, feminist and queer studies, and race and postcolonial studies. The authors explore key questions emerging from the intensive biotechnological management of life that marks our age. Exploring the ways in which certain bodies and lands become, as they have for many centuries, the extractable material for scientific “discovery,” the authors make questions of gender, sexuality, and reproduction central to their queries.

A New Queer Agenda

Joseph N. DeFilippis, Lisa Duggan, Kenyon Farrow, and Richard Kim

With this issue of The Scholar & Feminist Online, the Barnard Center for Research on Women celebrates our ongoing collaboration with Queers for Economic Justice. Through this partnership, we have been engaging activists, academics and organizers around a vision and practice of cross-issue organizing that sees gender and sex as central to issues like immigration, poverty, homelessness, gentrification, and drug use. “A New Queer Agenda” pushes beyond the vision of security and belonging offered through gay marriage to a broader politics of economic, political and sexual justice for all.
