Dear colleagues,

We have the honor of an in-person visit from Dr. Emily Yates-Doerr (Oregon
State) on Tuesday 4/29, who will be speaking to my ANTH 215 class about her
new book, *Mal-nutrition
<https://www.ucpress.edu/books/mal-nutrition/paper>: Maternal health
science and the reproduction of harm *(UC Press 2024). This talk is open to
the public.

When: Tuesday 29 April, 10:30am
Where: GUG 220


>From the publisher site:

Mal-Nutrition *documents how maternal health interventions in Guatemala are
complicit in reproducing poverty. Policy makers speak about how a critical
window of biological growth around the time of pregnancy—called the "first
1,000 days of life"—determines health and wealth across the life course.
They argue that fetal development is the key to global development. In this
thought-provoking and timely book, Emily Yates-Doerr shows that the control
of mothering is a paradigmatic technique of American violence that serves
to control the reproduction of privilege and power. She illustrates the
efforts of Guatemalan scientists, midwives, and mothers to counter the
harms of such mal-nutrition. Their powerful stories offer a window into a
form of nutrition science and policy that encourages collective *nourishment
and fosters reproductive cycles in which women, children, and their entire
communities can flourish.

Join us if you can!

best,
Jenna
