Human Rights and the Right to Life
In the 1990s, Mexican conservative politicians robustly argued against legal abortion. A feature of their strategy was the appropriation of human rights arguments to assert protections for the ‘unborn’. The adoption of human rights aligned with the international pro‐life movement's assertion that these agreements extended to embryos. Their position developed concurrently with feminist demands for gendered interpretations of human rights. Pro‐life…

What Can We Do to Increase Student Engagement in Physical Education
A prominent issue in the gym is the lack of student engagement. Although the engagement issue may look differently at the elementary, middle, and high school level, essentially, it is the same issue regardless of grade level. To engage students at all levels, physical educators need to be mindful of their characteristics and capabilities and be thoughtful of our pedagogy for desired student learning outcomes

Objectives. To describe breastfeeding initiation and breastfeeding at 1, 2, and 3 months, and information sources on breastfeeding among women with a recent live birth by disability status. Methods. We analyzed October 2018 to December 2020 data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System for 24 sites in the United States that included the Washington Group Short Set of Questions on Disability (seeing, hearing, walking or climbing stairs,…
Type Time
In academic fields of premodern history over the last ten years or more, scholars have often expressed their dismay at an increasing presentism, especially but not only in the context of engaging with college students and the public at large. For many people, including these latter groups, immersion in digital media has conditioned both intellectual formation and relation to the past, or pastness. This essay was born in part from the opportunity …

Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement
While most people believe that the movement to secure voluntary reproductive control for women centered solely on abortion rights, for many women abortion was not the only, or even primary, focus. Jennifer Nelson tells the story of the feminist struggle for legal abortion and reproductive rights in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s through the particular contributions of women of color. She explores the relationship between second-wave feminists,…

Improving Nutrition in the First 1000 Days in the United States
The first 1000 days begins with pregnancy and ends at the child’s second birthday. Nutrition throughout the life course, and especially during the first 1000 days, supports maternal health and optimal growth and development for children. We give a high-level summary of the state of nutrition in the first 1000 days in the United States. We provide examples where continued efforts are needed. We then discuss select opportunities to strengthen feder…
La gran oportunidad de la salud digital en América Latina y el Caribe
La pandemia de COVID-19 demostró la centralidad de la salud de la población para las economías y el bienestar social, a la vez que evidenció serios problemas estructurales de larga data en los sistemas sanitarios. En América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), se destacaron serias deficiencias en dimensiones básicas como calidad, resultados, costos y equidad. Hoy, los países deben gestionar la complejidad cada vez mayor de sus sistemas sanitarios mientras …
The feast of Toxcatl in the Florentine Codex
Ekphrasis, understood as a metaphor for encounter, serves as a literal vessel for an encounter between Nahua and Spanish worldviews in the illustrated bilingual Spanish and Nahuatl encyclopedia Historia general de las cosas de Nueva España (mostly written 1547–78), overseen by Bernardino de Sahagún in collaboration with Nahua scholars. Crucially, the function of ekphrasis—intensified verbal description of visual artifice—differed between Spanish …

Toward a holistic definition for Information Systems for Health in the age of digital interdependence
The article’s main objective is to propose a new definition for Information Systems for Health, which is characterized by the identification and involvement of all the parts of a complex and interconnected process for data collection and decision-making in public health in the information society. The development of the concept was through a seven-step process including document analysis, on-site and virtual sessions for experts, and an online su…
Keeping the Basilisk Rolling
In 1558, a year after his second widowing, and aware of Ottomans' increasing hold on lands to the east, the forty‐seven‐year‐old Nuremberg patrician scion Berthold Holzschuher devised a very unusual will and testament: a set of heavily illustrated designs, perhaps unique in the sixteenth century for their procedural detail and sense of scale, for war machines and a mill. Through examination of the first war machine design, this essay investigates…

Meeting breastfeeding intentions differ by race/ethnicity, Infant and Toddler Feeding Practices Study‐2
Prenatal breastfeeding intentions impact breastfeeding practices. Racial/ethnic disparities exist in breastfeeding rates; it is unknown if prenatal intentions and meeting intentions differ by race/ethnicity. A longitudinal cohort of USDA's Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) which enrolled participants beginning in 2013 were used to estimate prenatal intentions for breastfeeding initiation, exclusive brea…
Validity of Maternal and Perinatal Risk Factors Reported on Fetal Death Certificates
We sought to estimate the accuracy, relative to maternal medical records, of perinatal risk factors recorded on fetal death certificates. We conducted a validation study of fetal death certificates among women who experienced fetal deaths between 1996 and 2001. The number of previous births, established diabetes, chronic hypertension, maternal fever, performance of autopsy, anencephaly, and Down syndrome had very high accuracy, while placental co…
The Space of Africville
La communauté noire d'Africville, à Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse, a été démantelée par la force durant les années 1960 en vertu d'un programme de «rénovation urbaine». Cela faisait longtemps que les gens de cet endroit demandaient une reconnaissance juridique de leur collectivité et de meilleurs services communautaires et services de sécurité, comme des canalisations d'eau et d'égout, et une protection policière. Cet article examine de quelle façon…
Contribution of reactive and proactive control to children’s working memory performance
The present study addressed whether developmental improvement in working memory span task performance relies upon a growing ability to proactively plan response sequences during childhood. Two hundred thirteen children completed a working memory span task in which they used a touchscreen to reproduce orally presented sequences of animal names. Children were assessed longitudinally at 7 time points between 3 and 10 years of age. Twenty-one young a…
What Are We To Do About Difference?’
This paper is based on the findings from a study in which social workers in healthcare settings were asked for their perspectives on cultural and racial difference as these apply to their practice with racialized clients. In examining the varied practice philosophies and approaches they employ, we find that older practice models based on problematized knowledge about racialized Others are being, alternately, reinstated and contested. In grappling…
Apprentices of freedom
This article examines the journey undertaken by the slave ship Brilhante , captured by a British anti-slave trade patrol off the coast of Brazil in 1838. The ship and its crew were engaged in slave trafficking in contravention of international treaty agreements. In accordance with prize law the Brilhante was condemned by the Anglo-Brazilian mixed commission court in Rio de Janeiro and the slaves on-board were freed and apprenticed for a prescribe…
Slavery, race, and conspiracy
This article presents a case study of the HMS Romney, the British Royal Navy ship stationed in Havana from 1837 to 1845. The ship housed Africans awaiting the verdict of the trials of the Havana Mixed Commission Court for the Suppression of the Slave Trade. It highlights the controversies and discussions which were generated by the presence of the ship, and how they relate to the wider political scene that Robert L. Paquette has aptly described a…

"Abortions under Community Control"
This study of New York City's Young Lords reveals that a multiracial group of Puerto Ricans developed a unique radical politics during the early 1970s that encompassed both feminism and nationalism. Furthermore, the Young Lords' singular brand of politics produced an inclusive reproductive rights agenda that influenced (socialist) feminist politics later in the decade. The Young Lords' list of reproductive freedoms included demands for legal abor…
Hold your head up and stick out your chin
This article expands on research that appears in my book, Women of Color and the Reproductive Rights Movement (NYU Press 2003), in which I argue that the feminist framework of reproductive health care, or even the feminist framework of women's health care, was far too narrow to understand the health care needs of most black women in the 1970s. Black feminist activists of this era maintained that for black women (as well as for other women of colo…

Healthcare Reconsidered
This article details the history of Slossfield Hospital, an African American hospital and community center founded in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1937. During its New Deal–era existence it provided African American physicians institutional support for their medical practices. Additionally, as a community center, it addressed the socioeconomics of good health. This paper uses Slossfield as a case study to explore how some African Americans included th…
“All this that has happened to me shouldn’t happen to nobody else”
Loretta Ross exemplifies women of color feminist participation in and transformation of the women’s health movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Ross helped build a women’s health movement that by the late 1980s made the demands of women of color central. This movement was attractive to many women of color who had rejected the collapse of a broader women’s health movement into the abortion rights movement as too narrowly focused. Many women of color a…

Visualizing Sacred History
In 1529, Peter Dell the Elder (1490–1552) made a relief sculpture of the Resurrection for Duke Heinrich of Saxony. At this time, Heinrich was shifting toward his wife Katharina's Lutheranism despite his elder brother Georg's disapproval. The relief's disjunctive, nonillusionistic appearance resonates with Lutheran image theology. Its maintenance of visual difference exemplifies a faith in sacred history's power to transcend historical difference;…
Women’s Activism and “Second Wave” Feminism
Women’s Activism and “Second Wave” Feminism situates late 20th century feminisms within a global framework of women’s activism. Its chapters, written by leading international scholars, demonstrate how issues of heterogeneity, transnationalism, and intersectionality have transformed understandings of historical feminism. It is no longer possible to imagine that feminism has ever fostered an unproblematic sisterhood among women blind to race, ethni…

Barriers and facilitators for institutional delivery among poor Mesoamerican women
Professional skilled care has shown to be one of the most promising strategies to reduce maternal mortality, and in-facility deliveries are a cost-effective way to ensure safe births. Countries in Mesoamerica have emphasized in-facility delivery care by professionally skilled attendants, but access to good-quality delivery care is still lacking for many women. We examined the characteristics of women who had a delivery in a health facility and de…

Oral Health Promotion and Smoking Cessation Program Delivered via Tobacco Quitlines
Objectives. To assess the effects of a novel oral health promotion program (Oral Health 4 Life; OH4L) delivered through state-funded tobacco quitlines. Methods. Using a semipragmatic design to balance experimental control and generalizability, we randomized US quitline callers (n = 718) to standard care or standard care plus OH4L. We followed participants for 6 months to assess effects on professional dental care and smoking abstinence. We collec…
