Doctoring Dobbs
This essay examines erasure art as an anthropological practice through Doctoring Dobbs , a multimodal project responding to the US Supreme Court's overturning of federal abortion rights in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization . In creative practice, erasure removes material from an existing source to reveal something new. Drawing on autoethnographic notes from the process of “doctoring” Dobbs , I show how erasure art makes core anthropolo…
Menstruating while homeless
Results highlight critical organizational and policy gaps in the United States for menstruation management resources and services, emphasizing the need for better integration into health and well-being programs for PEH. These insights will advance reproductive and public health research, shedding light on the disparities faced by PEH in managing menstruation in Indiana and contributing to the national discourse on addressing these barriers. Amid …
Reproductive righteousness of right-wing movements
Deploying fetal death
While abortion foes in the United States rhetorically promote 'life,' discursive invocations of death are foundational to antiabortion advocacy. Pro-life strategists have made gains mandating the mourning of aborted fetuses through fetal burial bills, which require abortion providers to cremate or bury fetal tissue from abortion procedures. Fetal burial bills are inextricably tied to biopolitical regimes that make and manage grievable life. Drawi…
Saving
Lila Abu‐Lughod suggested saving as a keyword twenty years ago by imploring feminist anthropologists to “be wary” saving discourses and actions, especially when they appear in a sympathetic form. Heeding this call in a sustained way remains a crucial task. Being wary of saving in a systematic way investigates what gives it broad‐reaching appeal and power; how and where saving rhetoric is wielded by diverse agents; and why and how particular life‐…

Racial Politics of Frozen Embryo Personhood in the US Antiabortion Movement
Opponents of abortion in the United States have long made strategic comparisons between abortion and slavery to advance their movement. Within the past two decades, a White-led branch of the American “pro-life” movement began invoking racial categories and movements for racial justice to advocate for the socio-legal recognition of frozen embryos as persons. Extending from ethnographic research with proponents of “embryo personhood,” this article …
Making the Ethnic Embryo
How are frozen embryos donated for procreation racialized as "ethnic" subjects and what are the political implications of these enactments? Based on ethnographic research within an embryo adoption program in the United States, I examine the practices through which staff and participants produce "ethnicity" in embryos and trace its multiple permutations. Strategies used to stabilize race in embryos also disturb, fracture, and confound the bases fo…
Saving embryos in stem cell science and embryo adoption
The million frozen human embryos accumulated in IVF clinic freezers across the United States have become premier targets for saving by groups committed to repurposing reproductive remainders. Based on twenty-seven months (2008–2013) of ethnographic research within a Christian embryo adoption program and an embryo biobank for stem cell research, this article examines the motivations and practices involved in transforming leftover IVF embryos from …
