I am loathe to watch the #DeppVHeard documentary on Netflix but as a researcher and practitioner on intimate partner violence, especially in criminal Justice and the law, how IPV is represented in media is so crucial in shaping survivor justice. First few minutes and it’s clear that they are far more interested in the sensationalism of the trial. Focusing on Depp fans and YouTuber coverage. So clear decision NOT TO FRAME around the ethics of engaging with IPV, how to sensitively represent survivors. 🚩🚩🚩

So excited to see the spotlight on Dr Khiara Bridges and her anthropological work on reproduction, how reproductive justice must always be intersectional. Here is a thread of other ethnographies on reproduction, race & gender I would recommend 🧵 Coercive reproductive policies have historically been used as a tool of imperial power to forcibly sterilize communities of color, often in the name of “public health sanitation.”
