Amplifying Rhetorics of Reproductive Justice within Rhetorics of Health and Medicine
Main Article Content
Abstract
This dialogue works to situate Rhetorics of Reproductive Justice (RRJ) within Rhetorics of Health and Medicine (RHM) to explore how these two areas might enhance and inform one another. Through conversations with eight scholars who see their work as creating connections between RRJ and RHM, and through a series of reflective, interstitial comments, this dialogue examines current and future possibilities for work that bridges RRJ and RHM, and critically links RHM scholarship to social injustices reproductive bodies encounter.
