Dr. Johanna Shoen (Professor of History) and Dean Kim Mutcherson (Professor of Law) are leading a two-year seminar at the Rutgers Center for Historical Analysis focused on Life and Death, and I had the pleasure of participating in it today.

Last week I circulated a new chapter,  "Thaw," for my book project Ex Utero and today we discussed temperature, theology, and uterine saving spaces. I'm energized by our conversation ranging in topics from racialized innocence in US evangelical Christianity, afterlives of PGD embryos, why for evangelicals the uterus is the preferred place for embryos to die, God's inability to heal pain of reproductive losses, feminist STS analyses of embryo thawing, how fertility and abortions clinics relate in reproductive politics, economics of embryo saving, how my own relationship to these issues do/don't/should/could come through in my writing, etc. 

​Learn more about the Life/Death seminar here and the broad range of scholars participating in the ongoing conversation. Thanks again!
