I had the chance to talk about my book with Miranda Melcher at the New Books Network podcast! @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social @ucpress.bsky.social

My author Q & A on the UC Press blog: "A thread running through the whole book that resonates with modern reproductive issues is how patriarchy and misogyny feed systems that privilege fetal and infant life and health over maternal well-being."

The book is out and I recorded an episode about in with Johanna Hanink on Lesche podcast!

Three friends, three historians, three books about women in ancient Roman. ❤️❤️❤️

@sarahebond.bsky.social breaks down why saying that enslaved people ate better than poor free persons in Ancient Rome is a problem

Did Women Ruin The Workplace

New Book! "All Geographers Should be Feminist Geographers: Creating Care-full Academic Spaces" now available from UGA Press. Excited to talk about the book with folks, so please consider if this topic and ideas are well-suited to department seminars, class visits, or other conversational spaces.

The NYTimes is coming hard for c-sections today (!) One article addressing "the worst test in medicine" (continuous electronic fetal monitoring) and how it leads to unnecessary c-sections (known & ignored for decades) (1/6)

This is how I feel about many of my toddler's books. They're just giving him ideas. I had to hide one potty training book because it was all about how he shouldn't use the potty for anything except pottying (e.g. as a boat or a container for snacks). Such things had never occurred to him.

It’s pronounced “Cyclist”. Cc @stuporradical.bsky.social @sonaar.bsky.social & @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

I cried watching Mamdani's acceptance speech today because it's so incredible to see an American politician fighting for straight forward, tangible things that would make life better for people like me, like free buses and subsidized childcare.

I have created and assigned a printed course pack for the first time in my 11-year career in higher ed and I am having the best class ever! The students are doing the readings and they are engaged in discussions.

So excited for my friend Curtis's awesome book, coming out appropriately on Jan. 6! He has been working on this material for long time and, unfortunately, it keeps being more relevant than ever.

My book is coming on May 7, 2026. Pre-orders available now from Barnes & Noble and Bookshop! www.ucpress.edu/books/a-womb...

My review for Science magazine of Helen King's "Immaculate Forms: A History of the Female Body in Four Parts"
