Reproductive Injustice Symposium: Dána-Ain Davis, Ash Williams, Toni Bond, and Amaryah Armstrong

Panel discussion featuring Dána-Ain Davis, Ash Williams, Toni Bond, and Amaryah Armstrong; moderated by Beck Jordan-Young and Janet Jakobsen. Recorded on October 20, 2023 at Barnard College at the Reproductive Injustice Symposium.
About the symposium:
This symposium is a celebration of the newly published issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online that foregrounds the importance of Black women’s maternal health and obstetric racism, taking Dána-Ain Davis’ recent book Reproductive Injustice (NYU Press, 2019) as its starting point. The issue is available here:

At the symposium, as in the journal issue, we aim to think expansively about reproduction, race, gender, sexuality, and personal autonomy. The symposium will open with a keynote by Dorothy Roberts, author of Torn Apart: How the Child Welfare System Destroys Black Families-and How Abolition Can Build a Safer World (Basic Books, 2022) whose work on reproduction, the Black body, and anti-Black racism has powerfully shaped the landscape of scholarship and organizing. The keynote will be followed by a series of simultaneous workshops by Sister Song, Collective Power, the Reproductive Justice Collective, and the Design Center at Barnard College. To close the symposium, scholars and activists Amaryah Armstrong, Ash Williams, Dána-Ain Davis, Toni Bond, and moderator Beck Jordan-Young will join on a panel to share some of the important takeaways from their research and organizing work, address the current moment of reproductive in/justice in the United States, and offer ways that we can collectively move forward.
