Beyond knowledge
Intersections between culture, contraception, knowledge and the body in the USA
Women's contraceptive use is a central feature of US culture around reproduction as evinced by high usage rates and nationwide public health efforts to further increase its use. Paradoxically, women know little about contraception within its biomedical framing, and successive public health-related educational campaigns have produced only moderate knowledge gains. Drawing on 86 in-depth interviews with a diverse sample of reproductive-age women, w…
Shifting Social Support
This article analyzes how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum experiences of Mexican-American women living at the U.S.–Mexico border, with an emphasis on participants’ perceptions of different forms of social support: material, emotional, and informational. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 22 Mexican-American women in Laredo, Texas, we show how pandemic-related changes reduced participants’ extensive social…

Drying Climates and Gendered Suffering
Gender, disaster, and women's access to contraception and reproductive health care
Despite an increasing focus on health in disasters and the intersection of gender and disaster, there are few studies on women's health and access to essential reproductive health care during and after disasters. Even though contraceptives have an objective importance in maintaining reproductive health, there have been policy changes in the United States that run counter to this need, leading some to perceive women's health care as superfluous or…
Trading sex for security
Young women in their late teens and early twenties are especially susceptible to HIV infection in developing nations, as incidence of HIV is growing most rapidly among females aged 15-24 years. While prior research considers the role of various social and economic gender stratification measures to explain trends in the female HIV burden, the potential influence of unemployment has not yet been considered, nor has there been explicit focus on the …
