Five rungs down’: Encounters between disabled parents and the medical institution
Women with disabilities and the loss of custody of their children: “Carers, but not mothers”
Historically, the motherhood of women with disabilities has been questioned due to negative representations surrounding it. It is assumed that women with disabilities cannot be mothers and, when they are, their capacity to care for their children is called into doubt. According to international literature, women with disabilities are more susceptible to losing the custody of their children. However, in Chile, there is scant evidence about this. U…
Look at Me!”: The Public and Digital Political Campaigns of People With Disability During Chile’s Sociopolitical Crisis
In a context of multiple crises, an important number of people with disability competed to participate in drafting a new constitution in a remote Latin American country.

Based on interviews with candidates to be members of the Chilean constitutional convention, the study examines how they react to contemptuous, deindividualizing, and assistencialist ways of looking that de…
La Mamá Soy Yo: Experiencias Parentales De Madres Y Padres Con Discapacidad en Chile

En el marco de una investigación cualitativa se realizaron 20 entrevistas en profundidad a madres y padres con discapacidad - auditiva, visual, física, intelectual - en Chile. El entorno social de las PcD cuestiona sus posibilidades de ser m…
I Assumed He Didn't Exist: The Birth Father as the Invisible Member of the Adoption Kinship Network
Historically, paternity has been constructed on the basis of uncertainty. Men and fathers have been underrepresented in studies of reproductive processes and parenting. In adoption, the figure of the birth father has been invisibilized and stereotyped. As part of a qualitative study of origins, identity, and adoption, carried out in Chile, the narratives about their birth father of adults, who had been adopted and sought their origins, were analy…
A horror movie with a happy ending: Childbirth From the Father's Perspective
This article analyzes how men in Chile narrate the birth of their first child in order to understand how they elaborate their masculine identity in the feminized field of reproduction. It seeks to make a contribution to masculinity studies by (a) describing the position that men have in childbirth and (b) applying the concept of hegemonic masculinity to the context of reproduction. We conducted in-depth interviews with 22 first-time fathers, befo…
I did everything humanly possible: The process of making reproductive decisions in the context of assisted reproduction in Chile
The options for intervention opened by assisted reproductive technology (ART) oblige its users to make decisions that drag them into a “moral odyssey.” This paper explores the decision-making of mothers and fathers in Chile who opted to use ART as a means of having a child. Methods: The results are based on a qualitative study. Thirty-two in-depth interviews with mothers and fathers who had children through ART were analyzed using thematic conten…
Involucrados dentro de lo posible: Conciliación trabajo-paternidad de padres primerizos chilenos

A longitudinal study that includes the follow up of 32 men in their transition to fatherhood was carried out applying interviews. It is difficult for fathers to reconcile the role of providers with that of care-takers of their children, so they develop strategies to be present in their lives. They have intentions to make changes in thei…
