I remain sceptical of abortion decrim through carceral frameworks that expand police powers, particularly when we see increasing police guidance (governance!) on abortion. I don’t see how we achieve reproductive freedom by tying ourselves to these logics. These, to me, aren’t wise compromises.

Making graduate school harder to access is part of a very deliberate strategy to raise the “married birth rate” The idea is that making higher ed scarcer will prevent women from wasting prime fertile years on education and other useless pursuits Nightmare fuel: www.heritage.org/education/re...

1/ Is population collapsing? It felt like time to process some of my #demography feelings about recent #population panic. While demographers don't endorse generational labels (ahem @philipncohen.com),for this GenXer there will always be Princess Bride memes. open.substack.com/pub/jenndowd...?

We couldn't have known when we started this paper that the data source it relies on would be obliterated by the time it came out I think this paper showcases what the DHS does best -- understanding big trends across time and space 1/4

I will be in conversation with two very brilliant minds about the ways that feminist economics (and positivist research frameworks, more generally) can engage with the Reproductive Justice framework. Please join us!!

Special Issue on "Global Reproductive Justice and Feminist Economics" is IN PRESS! I learnt so much (as a non-economist, as a scholar) from our incredible contributors & from my enormously talented co-guest editors @lsenderowicz.bsky.social & Prof Sigle (LSE). 🧵1/

The idea seems to be that if you just keep pointing out the hypocrisy, eventually it’ll do something?

We have a new special issue focusing on global reproductive justice We want to use this issue to challenge feminist economists & other scholars to engage seriously with the possibilities and rigors of the RJ framework I wish the topic weren’t quite so timely… www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Scientists need to realize this list will grow. It used to be abortion and climate change. Staying quiet won’t keep your area off lists like this.

If you’ve been looking for a non-shitty, non-misogynist take on pronatalism from actual experts, look no further! (Taking part in this webinar is one of my favorite things that I’ve done all year)

Pronatalism is a classic population panic, based on regressive ideas and bad demography. In this webinar, three demographers (@lesja.bsky.social @lsenderowicz.bsky.social and me) break it down. Passcode: 60N#t1y

A perfect example of how we can ONLY understand "pronatalism" in the context of eugenics. There's no other way to make sense of this.

I'm quoted in an article on pronatalism in the New Yorker & while I'm happy with my quote I wish the piece did more to question very premise of the "debate" Because the question isn't really pro or antinatalism but rather pronatalism for whom and antinatalism for whom? And there, RJ has answers
