Motherhood & Technology WG Co-Directors to Guest-Edit Special Issue of The Journal of Medical Humanities

Motherhood and Technology Working Group Co-Directors, Arden Hegele and Rishi Goyal, are guest-editing a special issue of The Journal of Medical Humanities, planned to release in summer 2024. Entitled “Conception and Its Discontents,” and drawing its contributors from an eponymous conference held by the Working Group in May 2023, the issue will explore the pressures and deformations that burgeoning technologies and contemporary political and cultural norms place on the experience and meaning of reproduction. Articles will consider how technologies of reproduction have been taken up without full recognition of their political, legal, sociocultural, biological, or psychoanalytical impacts.
