FAB Gab episode 22: Jeanne Proust asks, ‘what is a uterus and, what do we want it to be’?

The latest episode of FAB Gab is out now, and in this episode, Jeanne Proust discusses her recent co-authored paper focussed on the uterus, as a concept and as a complex organ.

The paper arises from the context of the extraordinarily high rates of hysterectomy and c-section delivery in the United States, which is well beyond the rates in other developed nations. Proust and her co-authors discuss how the ‘parthood’ model and the ‘container’ model, two often-used conceptual metaphors in pregnancy, influence how women (and society broadly) think(s) about uteruses, their purpose, and their value.

FAB Gab Episode 21: Katharine Wolfe on ‘speciesism’, ablism, and the real debate about moral status

The latest episode of FAB Gab is now live! This time, Katharine Wolfe speaks about her recent paper, which seeks to rescue ‘speciesism’ from the ablism of certain interpretations of the term.

Wolfe’s paper looks back on an exchange between Peter Singer and Eva Feder Kittay about the moral status of human beings vis-a-vis animals. Wolfe suggests that establishing moral status relationally, rather than by properties or capacities, allows us to include all human beings without having to make claims about superiority of humans over any (or all) other animals.

FAB Gab Episode 20: Anna Nelson on Ectogenesis by Request

The latest episode of FAB Gab is now out, and in this episode, Anna Nelson discusses partial ectogenesis as a mode of delivery for pregnant people. In her paper, recently published in IJFAB, Anna argues that partial ectogenesis should be available by request.

Here’s a snapshot of the discussion:

The key central argument I’m trying to make is that partial ectogenesis could be seen as a mode of delivery. So I shifted the focus of the discussion centered on the birthing individual, rather than the technology in the idea that actually this extraction process from the human body [which] mimics quite closely… cesarean birth.”

Anna Nelson, in conversation on FAB Gab

FAB Gab Episode 19: Jemma Rollo on a Relational Ethics of Pregnancy

decorative image

The new episode of FAB Gab is out now, featuring the first paper from the latest volume of IJFAB. In this episode, Jemma Rollo discusses her proposal for a relational ethics of pregnancy that might take account of feminist commitments toward abortion access as well as taking miscarriage seriously.

While feminists might balk at valuing a foetus because this seems to threaten women’s access to abortion, Rollo argues that we can value a foetus – and a pregnancy – without losing sight of the importance of the woman and her relationship to this being.

Call for Papers: edited volume on disability justice in crises

CALL FOR PAPERS
edited volume: Disability Justice in Emergency Conditions

DESCRIPTION

The COVID-19 pandemic brought into the foreground—and exacerbated—a host of existing social inequities and injustices, including and especially those facing disabled people. Prior to the pandemic, people with disabilities across the globe dealt with wage and labor discrimination, housing discrimination, education discrimination, and discrimination in care and treatment across specialties. All of these issues became especially apparent as the pandemic unfolded. Unjust crisis standards of care emerged, heated disagreements over accessibility and accommodations became omnipresent, and utilitarian calculi were deployed across multiple domains in ways that ran roughshod over human rights’ commitments. As everyone from national policy-makers to clinical bioethicists to employers scrambled to respond to the threat of COVID-19, it became increasingly clear that many lacked clarity and guidance concerning how to carry out disability justice under emergency conditions. The pandemic is, of course, by no means over, and this need for clarity and guidance has neither gone away nor been sufficiently addressed.

This CFP is for an edited volume that takes up the challenge of providing actionable guidance concerning how to create, maintain, and forward disability justice under emergency conditions. This volume is intended to be a resource for a wide range of stakeholders and decision-makers—whether a triage nurse or UN intern; whether an ombudsperson, a small business owner, or a middle school teacher; whether the head of an NGO, a community organizer, or a university president—and not just in relationship to pandemic contexts, but for all manner of emergency situations. Questions to be addressed are likely to include: should metrics like quality of life, quality-adjusted life years, or frailty scores be used in crisis standards of care contexts? What sorts of accessibility should be mandated for public health communications? What do national laws (like the ADA in the USA and the DDA in the UK) and international laws and treaties (like the UNCRPD) suggest for emergency preparedness and response? What role should social determinates of health play in emergency situations where resource allocation is limited? How should policy-makers think about the intersections of disability justice, racial justice, gender justice, indigenous justice and more when setting pandemic or other emergency-related priorities? How should the media combat disability stigma when reporting about pathogens that result in significant impairment? What insights does a disability justice lens offer for global emergency responses in light of the legacies of settler colonialism as well as ongoing imperial aggressions? What values related to disability justice should guide national and international pandemic preparedness and response?

Authors already committed to contribute to the volume include: Joseph Stramondo, Eva Feder Kittay, Desiree Valentine, Kevin Timpe, Johnathan Flowers, Sarah Clark Miller, and Ally Peabody Smith. A wide range of disciplinary and methodological approaches is encouraged. The editor is especially interested in contributions that involve intersectional analyses and/or the incorporation of international perspectives. Although theoretical work is welcome, strong preference will be given to pieces that contain or at least conclude with concrete and actionable recommendations and/or applications. The editor anticipates sending the volume to Cambridge University Press or Oxford University Press.

HOW TO SUBMIT

Submissions will be collected until July 1, 2022. Submission does not guarantee acceptance, and all contributions will undergo peer-review. Shorter pieces (4500 words) words will be accepted alongside longer pieces (though pieces exceeding 8000 words exclusive of notes will be subject to greater scrutiny). A relatively fast review process will be used in light of the goal of sending off the proposal in the early fall of 2022. All submissions should follow the Chicago Manual of Style 17th edition using footnotes in addition to a complete bibliography at the end.

Submissions as well as any questions can be addressed to co-editors Joel Michael Reynolds and Mercer Gary at the following email address: disjustemercondit [at] gmail [dot] com.

FAB Gab’s final episode for the year is out now! Kathryn MacKay chats with Eva De Clercq about her paper on the kind and level of care that young adults with variations of sex characteristics can access. De Clercq reports on how these young adults’ experiences of love – from friends, parents, or intimate partners – can help to overcome the ‘violence of curiosity’ from the scientific and medical communities.

Here’s a sneak peek:

“Something that I in the paper called the violence of curiosity has taken the form of this normalising surgical interventions, repeated clinical examinations among medical photographs, in which people’s bodies are reduced to the kind of source of information and an object of fascination. And this goes hand in hand with the kind of dis-attention for people’s lived experiences. And so this was why I in fact, wanted to focus on people’s lives and young people’s lived experiences.”

Here’s a sneak peek:

“Clinician-speak is a different suburb of the language from the one that people speak in the centre of the ‘old-city’, which is where a lot of us live. And the clinicians live in a suburb, because they use words that aren’t used the same way as by people in the old city.”
