My book is forthcoming!

I am so excited to share the cover of my book 'Embodying Irish Abortion Reform', which will be published with Bristol University Press next year (2024). I would love to share the ideas in this book with academics, students, activists, practitioners etc. so please reach out if you'd like to set up a talk!

This book explores the embodied and emotional experience of living under Ireland's anti-abortion regime and the important role that feelings and gendered bodies played in resisting reproductive inequality and repealing Ireland's 8th amendment.

My hope is that this book will be particularly relevant to those working on reproductive (in)justice, social movements, or gender studies more broadly. Most importantly, I hope it resonates with women and people who, like me, grew up under a system of reproductive coercion; and that the concepts I offer here help to articulate something about the specific sense of embodied and gendered burden that comes with living under and having to constantly navigate and resist anti-abortion laws, policies and stigma, in our everyday lives.

Finally, this book is an ode to the transformative power and labour of the bodies of women and abortion-seekers in challenging reproductive injustice across the globe
