Coming Soon:

We are working to organize working groups based on the key research and organizing initiatives of the network. These groups will collaborate through a combination of private mailing list discussions and public-facing posts in discussion forms hosted by this website. The initial groups proposed at the launch of the research network on the occasion of the “Actualités du Travail Reproductif” conference were the following four:

1) Research Projects: A group devoted to coordinating, informing and sharing information about their research projects, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and international networking in research endeavors. We invite “researchers” of a diversity of backgrounds in terms of language, cultural experience, and disciplinary training from across the social sciences and humanities from all over the world.

2) Communications: A group that would discuss communications tools (websites, mailings, pamphlets, publications, etc.). This group would also address the problems of translation broadly speaking between languages, generations and political contexts. In this sense, the communications group would share concerns particularly with the education group described below.

3) Fundraising: A group dedicated to the intricacies of funding and sustaining an international research network. We particularly seek people with experience of fundraising, grant application, and related skills to join this group!

4) Self-education and knowledge sharing: A group dedicated to sharing knowledge between generations of feminists whose work investigates reproductive labor and to organizing self-directed educational paths. This group would also address the problems of translation broadly speaking both between languages, generations and political contexts. Also important to the work of this group will be promoting educational engagement for people who bring a wide range of experience in their use of digital technologies and educational backgrounds.

Please stay tuned for more details and sign-up information.
