Hi, new friends! Here's a recent article of mine on #ReproductiveJustice & #immigration.

This is my 1st year as a TT professor of #PoliSci & #Sociology. I study #PoliticalTheory #Gender #Race #Intersectionality #Law #SocialMovements. I'm working on a book about #abortion that argues (1) misogyny, racism, nationalism, anti-immigrant sentiment, & capitalism 🔄 reproductive injustice
(2) #BodilyAutonomy is more than an individual right; it can only be fully realized through feminist community.

As part of the #TwitterMigration, I feel a bit like an Urrasti visiting Annares in #UrsulaKLeGuin's The Dispossessed. It's culture shock in a good way.
