📢New #PAG20 Notes from the Field 📝 @acalasanti.bsky.social, Cora Fernández Anderson & @tamkay.bsky.social outline how field research on abortion rights movements has changed in and outside of the U.S. post-Dobbs in "Research Ethics and Methods in Shifting Policy Climates" buff.ly/4gvJgLo
Notes from the field article: "Research Ethics and Methods in Shifting Policy Climates: The Case of Abortion Rights in the United States and Latin America" by Anna Calasanti, Cora Fernández Anderson and Tamara Kay.
Introduction begins: We have spent the last two years conducting fieldwork on abortion rights movements in the United States and Latin America, building from our previous work on abortion policies, movements, organizations, and activists across the Americas (Beisel and Kay 2004; Calasanti 2015; Calasanti, Kay, and Ostermann 2023; Fernández Anderson 2017, 2020, 2022; Ruibal and Fernández Anderson 2018). In the wake of the 2022 US Supreme Court decision Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, we have noted a palpable shift in the dynamics between organizations, new challenges in establishing contacts, and a heightened need to safeguard participants’ identity.
