My research with @rgbetancourt.bsky.social & Marianne Johnson on economics & birth control. Main point: Despite ambivalent history, economists can usefully study links between birth control, poverty alleviation, intersectional justice, gender equity & well-being. www.latrobe.edu.au/news/announc...

Economics, birth control and poverty
New research has explored how economists linked family size with poverty in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

Thanks to Shoshana Grossbard for a generous and critical review of my book (Economics and the Family: A Social and Political History, Cambridge UP). Thanks, too, to @mdtremblay.bsky.social as book review editor for sourcing this review. I appreciate the effort, time, and care you both put into this.

Supporting Dr Jo Faulkner: I am shocked to learn those identified for forced redundancy at Macquarie University (including Jo) appear to have been targeted due to involvement in and activities to support the National Tertiary Education Union. Jo is a kind person& an excellent researcher and teacher.
