The problem with abortion deserts: Reframing deserts for feminist solidarity
With the rise of the far right across the world, feminist scholars and activists have been drawn to the language of “abortion deserts” to describe the decimation of reproductive healthcare services. In this paper we argue that while “abortion deserts” is a rhetorically powerful category, it is too often used uncritically in ways that overlook the lived realities of abortion experiences and reproduce colonial hierarchies of expected healthcare acc…
Gendered and Racialized Politics of Mercury Contamination in Extractivist Mining Geographies in Colombia
This article investigates the local politics of mercury contamination in artisanal gold mining communities in Colombia. Drawing on mixed-methods research conducted in La Toma between 2019 and 2020, we examine the shortcomings of the reductionist technological and biomedical understanding of mercury pollution that informs the Minamata Convention. We build on feminist political ecologies and geographies and suggest that mercury contamination elicit…
Exploring pregnancy maps to understand toxic reproductive risks. Embodied experiences of toxic contamination in goldmining and coca farming communities in the Bajo Cauca region (Colombia)
In this paper, I discuss the potential of pregnancy maps, a body cartography technique emerging from the critical Latin American praxis of cuerpo-territorio, with a focus on the investigation of embodied experiences of reproduction to re-centre women’s reproductive priorities and concerns in environmental policymaking. The paper contributes to the debate on Environmental Reproductive Health by questioning reductionist understandings of body-envir…
Men of contamination. Masculinities, care and extraction in the artisanal and small-scale mining geographies of the Bajo Cauca and Nordeste of Antioquia regions (Colombia)
Land, gender and labor in antinarcotic policies: Voluntary substitution of illegalized coca crops and gender inequalities in rural Colombia
Gendering Toxic Contamination: Toxic Risks, Bodies, and Pregnancies in Gold Mining and Coca Farming Communities in the Bajo Cauca Region
This paper investigates women's everyday reproductive struggles in contexts of toxic contamination and the tensions emerging between toxic exposure and care in women's experiences of motherhood. While scientific framings of reproductive disruptions understand social identities as pre‐existing the experience of toxic risks, in this paper I argue that, in toxic territories, the categories of “contaminating” and “contaminated” actors interact with o…
