Great #repromob roundtable!

Clinicians experience alongside critiques of the ownership structures of global clinic chains.

Loved sharing my paper too on software fixes for fertility crisis.

Looking forward to our panel today at the @sociologyireland.bsky.social . Thanks to colleagues for organising.

I’ll be talking about the limited “biological mode” of hypothetical thinking and switch on/off policy solutions for dealing with declining fertility rates in Europe.

Beautiful workshop! We talked about animation and the politics of the body + life and made some brilliant and funny films that give voice to the elements.

Thanks to Hamaca in Barcelona for co-coordinating, loved sharing ongoing postdoc work.

This quote from The Uses of the Erotic (1978).

Audre Lorde may have read the current media / techbro gathering around the fascist salute as a continuation of the “Euroamerican tradition where needs are fulfilled by certain proscribed erotic comings-together, whether religion…or mob violence…”

“The medicine developed in the enclosed spaces of slavery was not just the darkside of Enlightenment but its epistemic & material condition of possibility”

Huge congrats to 🌟 Dr. 🌟 Anyely Marín at iHC, Barcelona.

Vital work in antiracist, postcolonial & decolonial history of science and medicine
