Against Gender Essentialism: Reproductive Justice Doulas and Gender Inclusivity in Pregnancy and Birth Discourse
This article explores how reproductive justice (RJ) doulas support trans and nonbinary birthing people, while advancing more inclusive practices within the birth world.

(In)Conceivable: Risky Reproduction and the Rhetorical Labors of “Octomom”
This article interrogates public discourse surrounding the Suleman octuplet birth, tracing related rhetorics of pathology and risk that marked Nadya Suleman as a threat to be contained while masking dominant logics of race, class, and family formation through the ethos of medical expertise. This study demonstrates how the rhetoric of risk functions as a powerful mode of governance, policing the borders of maternity and asserting the primacy of me…
