This is finally happening! I am so excited to share that 'Taming Egg Donors: The Egg Donation Reproductive Market in Spain' is out now with @Palgrave! An in-depth ethnographic account about one of the biggest egg donation hubs in the world. More details:

So happy to share the first paper of our research project on preterm birth, NICU care and the implications of the Artificial Placenta. This one on decision-making for extremely preterm newborns in Spain, published at SSM 😊

RT @michalnahman: Very relevant and well edited special issue of @MedAnthropology by @LauraPerler and @Anna_Molas on centring women's labou….

Photo essay on egg donors in Spain: Laura Perler and Tamara Sánchez Pérez offer a powerful photo essay in which they challenge the in/visibility of egg donors and show the medical process involved and the quotidian lives of egg donors in Spain

Egg donors in Spain: @Anna_Molas shows the vast amount of labor involved in becoming an egg donor in Spain and argues that, although this labor is essential for the generation of value in reproductive bioeconomies, it remains invisible and undertheorized.

Surrogates in California: Ayala, Álvarez and Rivas assert the importance of surrogates experience as a source of professional skills, downplaying its monetary value and placing it within favorable moral frameworks, thus finding cultural legitimacy

Surrogates in Thailand: @elajna demonstrates how surrogates im/mobility reveals critical insights into labor conditions and power relations and is formed within the global reproductive industry as well as the specific national context.

Surrogates and ED in Ukraine: Polina Vlasenko highlights how women emphasize their economic role as worker-mothers, while clinics employ the framework to hold them accountable for outcomes. A discourse that empowers women yet imposes disciplinary demands.

Egg donors in Turkey: Burcu Mutlu shows how practices of secrecy function as strategic tools for invisibilization in the lived realities of Turkish egg donors engaged in an illicit, gendered, and stigmatized form of reproductive labor.

Egg donors in Iran: @TBonyad shows how Iranian egg donors articulate their participation in the local egg market through the prism of their economic marginality, gendered responsibilities, and religiously informed beliefs, including divine reward.

Introduction piece by Laura Perler and myself on the three running themes in all the contributions: 1) the importance of situated knowledges, 2) the new labor reconfigurations in the globalised reproductive industry and, 3) the emerging vulnerabilities

Great foreword by @michalnahman, who situates the relevance of the centering the experiences of reproductive providers in a conext where "women's voices are being silenced in favor of practices that occlude their full participation in social life".

So excited to see the special issue "Reproductive labourers" co-edited by Laura Perler and myself published at @MedAnthropology! On the value of the voices and experiences of egg donors and surrogates around the globe. Great diversity of contributions. 🧵.

Contenta de començar l'any anunciant un altre curs! De la mà d'Un Estudio Propio, debatrem sobre els conflictes de la reproducció en el context actual. Gràcies per convidar-me! Info i inscripcions a:

Muy contenta de compartir esta conversación con @drnatalivaldez! Hablamos del auge del interés por la epigenética en la salud maternoinfantil y de las responsabilidades raciales y de género que se reproducen en la creación de ese conocimiento

Algunos apuntes para pensar el retraso de la maternidad y su intersección con las políticas, los costes emocionales y la industria de la fertilidad. Gracias @Diana_Oliver por contar conmigo!.

Tindré el gust de ser ponent en aquest curs. Una gran oportunitat per aprendre i debatre conjutament! Som-hi! 🚀.
