Locating Reproductive Justice seeks books at the intersections of reproductive rights broadly conceived, racial and economic justice, feminist and queer analysis, abolition, sexual liberation, community care, and bodily autonomy. We seek proposals from reproductive justice activists, storytellers, scholars, and public intellectuals. Projects should be composed in an accessible writing style and useful for those new to the topic as well as experts.
Desired Genres and Topics
We are seeking creative/general nonfiction, memoir, scholarship, and anthologies. In addition to the frameworks offered, potential reproductive justice book topics include, but are not limited to:
- Histories of the movement, rooted in particular locales/regions, transnational perspectives
- Overviews as a global movement
- Philosophies and theories
- Memoirs, including those of activists, parents, and (community) care providers
- Health care disparities
- Environment, climate, ecology
- Multispecies justice
- Detention and incarceration
- Family separation
- Reproduction and affect
- Queer family formation
- Disability justice
- Migration and diaspora
