Love you Zindagi (life)
In the current era of political and academic precarity, two researchers from India and Pakistan have written this essay in an epistolary style to challenge the notion of assembly‐line writing in academia, emphasizing the importance of compassion and self‐care during the writing process. Both writers do this by centering their positionalities not only as South Asian researchers who reflexively navigate research with communities but also as women w…
Sociology of Gender in India
Sociology of Gender in India brings together feminist and queer scholarship to chart the changing landscape of gender debates in Indian Sociology. Spanning over five decades of disciplinary evolution, this volume interrogates how gender, caste, sexuality, class, and digitalization intersect in shaping contemporary social life. With essays by a new generation of scholars, it critically engages with foundational debates in kinship, marriage, labour…
Resilience requires discomfort
Populist-fueled global tensions have continued to grow over the past year, and we now see regular civil protest as well as educational institutions, public care agencies, and goodwill institutions strain under the weight of culture wars.As these tensions have grown, we have struggled-as individuals and collectives-with how to respond.Between reinvigorated calls to resist, rest, care, and get activated in response to rapid-fire, scatter-focused pr…
New directions in feminist anthropology
This issue showcases how the global breadth of feminist anthropology is reshaping both the foci and methodological toolkits for anthropology. With articles ethnographically located in Colombia, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, feminist anthropologists in this issue focus on agency and activism, kinship, gender expression, reproductive justice, and the ways we need to rethink the work of…
Locating vulnerable masculinities among childfree men in urban India
In urban areas of western and southern India, fertility rates have dropped substantially. Educated individuals living in urban parts of these two regions are increasingly choosing to forego biological reproduction. Using anthropological methodologies, including digital ethnography for over three years, this research examines the motivations of urban, middle-class, Hindu men in India who are childfree by choice or follow antinatalism, a philosophy…
Culturally and socially shifting
Gendered politics and issues of political concern have been grabbing headlines in complex ways in 2024. The World Population Review (2024)1 indicates that women are currently 21% of Prime Ministers and 26% of Parliamentarians of 193 UN Member States and that female leaders also comprise 34% of local government positions. On October 3, 2024, days after Mexico swore in its first female executive, Presidente Sheinbaum, The Pew Research Center clarif…
Does Religion Affect Women’s Agency? Empirical Evidence from India
Making research ethics work for global health
In this reflective essay, we seek to engage in a constructive dialogue with scholars across medicine, public health and anthropology on research ethics practices. Drawing on anthropological research and ethical dilemmas that our colleagues and we encountered as medical anthropologists, we reflect on presumed and institutionalised ‘best’ practices such as mandatory written informed consent, and problematise how they are implemented in interdiscipl…
Markings
This volume begins a period of transition. The previous year was challenging, filled with natural disasters on top of pandemic fatigue and surging inflation across the globe. Though unintentional, the first issue in this volume of Feminist Anthropology seems to hone in on healing and possibility. Perhaps after the past few years of pandemic-informed global fear and loss and rising neoliberal agendas, this issue's contributors inevitably offer per…
Justice, rights and the futures of reproduction
Changing Birth Practices in India
Institutional births increased in India from 39% to 79% between 2005 and 2015. Drawing from 17 months of fieldwork, this article traces the shift from home to hospital births across three generations in a hamlet in Assam in Northeast India. Here, too, one finds that most births have shifted from home to hospital in less than a decade, aided by multiple factors. These include ‘free’ birthing facilities and financial incentives offered by governmen…
When accountability meets power
This paper addresses a critical concern in realizing sexual and reproductive health and rights through policies and programs – the relationship between power and accountability. We examine accountability strategies for sexual and reproductive health and rights through the lens of power so that we might better understand and assess their actual working. Power often derives from deep structural inequalities, but also seeps into norms and beliefs, i…
Safe’, yet violent? Women’s experiences with obstetric violence during hospital births in rural Northeast India
The majority of maternal health interventions in India focus on increasing institutional deliveries to reduce maternal mortality, typically by incentivising village health workers to register births and making conditional cash transfers to mothers for hospital births. Based on over 15 months of ethnographically informed fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2017 in rural Assam, the Indian state with the highest recorded rate of maternal deaths, we…
The shifting axes of marginalities
Institutional births in India, including the north eastern state of Assam, have increased steeply in the last decade such that 71% of all births now occur in facilities. Most analyses of disrespect and abuse during childbirth have largely framed the problem within a binary that juxtaposes all users of services in one category, subordinate to institutions and institutional actors. This commentary explores whether a different analysis is possible w…
