Achieving the Goal of the London Summit on Family Planning By Adhering to Voluntary, Rights-Based Family Planning
The 2012 London Summit on Family Planning refocused attention on family planning, garnering much-needed support for the goal of reenergizing and expanding programs in 69 low- and medium-income countries enable 120 million more women ... to use contraceptives by 2020. (1) Although the response to the summit's initiative (referred to as FP2020) was generally positive, reproductive health and rights advocates expressed concern that the focus on a nu…
Voluntary, Human Rights–Based Family Planning
At the 2012 Family Planning Summit in London, world leaders committed to providing effective family planning information and services to 120 million additional women and girls by the year 2020. Amid positive response, some expressed concern that the numeric goal could signal a retreat from the human rights–centered approach that underpinned the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. Achieving the FP2020 goal will take concer…
Population, sexual and reproductive health, rights and sustainable development
This article suggests that sexual and reproductive health and rights activists seeking to influence the post-2015 international development paradigm must work with sustainable development advocates concerned with a range of issues, including climate change, environmental issues, and food and water security, and that a way of building bridges with these communities is to demonstrate how sexual and reproductive health and rights are relevant for th…

The Visible Woman
These essays purport to be about medical imaging and related scientific inscription, about "the development of several key medical and scientific technologies" and "their claims to make the human body--specially the female body--newly visible" (p. 1). New visual and imaging technologies are an important topic for cultural studies and feminist analysis and raise fascinating questions about technology, ideology, politics, and the visible. Several e…
For Better, for Worse

In particular, it assesses how the right to marry and to found a family, the requirement of free and full consent of intending spouses, and recognition of the family as the "natural and fundamental group unit of society" have affected…

In the liveliest London streets, the shops press one against the other, shops which flaunt behind their hollow eyes of glass all the riches of the world, Indian cashmeres, American revolvers, Chinese porcelains, French corsets, Russian furs and tropical spices; but all these things promising the pleasures of the world bear those deadly white labels on their fronts on which are engraved arabic numerals with laconic characters-?, s, d (pound sterli…

The Politics of Spectacle
Modern scholars of courtly spectacle have unwittingly undone Ben Jonson's irony and proved Inigo Jones true. Courtly entertainments have indeed proved to be 'Spectacles of State,' illusions of power, to use Stephen Orgel's phrase, which reveal a great deal about how power was conceived and exercised in Renaissance state. Preoccupation with visual and aural elements of such entertainments however, has sometimes obscured importance of prose/Or vers…

Can This Marriage Be Saved
I didn't finish the book, said Maggie. As soon as I came to the blond-haired young lady reading in the park, I shut it up and determined to read no further. I foresaw that the light-complexioned girl would win away all the love from Corinne and make her miserable. I'm determined to read no more books where the blondhaired women carry away all the happiness. If you could give me some story now, where the dark woman triumphs, it would restore the b…
