Call for papers 🚨 The deadline to send abstracts for our annual symposium is 16th September 2024 🚨

The lovely Dr Miranda Melcher interviewed me for New Books Network 📚 about my book 'Invisible Labours' on the politics of pregnancy loss in the second trimester, which was published Open Access by Berghahn Books and is available here berghahnbooks.com/title/Middlemi… newbooksnetwork.com/invisible-labo…

I find the negative replies to this fascinating. Either I: a) am an entitled disabled bitch, expecting far too much / making a fuss over nothing, or b) did not make enough of a fuss to assert my rights, & therefore don’t deserve access. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t …

We have extended the capacity for the SIMCA online event about our new paper on Midwifery Continuity of Carer implementation - if you tried to sign up there are now more tickets available on Eventbrite, apologies! eventbrite.co.uk/e/implementing…

New publication day! Loved writing about representations of Covid, death, prisons, genre and exploiting creative production opportunities in this chapter with editors it was a pleasure to work with 😘 routledge.com/Covid-19-in-Fi…

It’s staggering how little this has been reported: a new law in Afghanistan means women cannot speak in public or sing in their own homes. It’s a cliche but if this was happening to (white) men as a sex class, it would be on the front pages. thetimes.com/world/europe/a…

Finally got my book in my hands!

Covid is airborne. It was so difficult for people in power to admit this because of the ramifications for keeping people safe from Covid. So now we just don’t bother. 😢

I think this must be THE most awkward moment of the Covid Inquiry so far. I’ve dubbed it ‘The Long Pause’. I’d love to know what was going on in Dr Ritchie’s head here. I’d like to think she had a moment of reflection of how many lives were lost due to her flawed IPC guidance.

I'm putting together a list of people interested in NHS maternity services reform - historians, antenatal educators, parents, health researchers, midwives, doctors, policy folks etc - for a project I'm working on and some future events. Let me know if you'd like to be added!
