This fascinating collection of essays and creative works (and hybrids, like mine!) exploring motherhood/mothering experiences in/of medicine is out now from Demeter Press!
My chapter takes a hybrid life-writing/essay form and looks at an intersection of motherhood and chronic illness - examining, through anecdote and discussion, some of the difficulties of communicating complex, intersectional experiences that do not fit within dominant medical narratives.

"The edited volume will explore how relationships between motherhood/mothering experiences in/of medicine are presently being theorized, re-examined, negotiated, and most importantly, debated. This is an interdisciplinary volume which unites essays as well as creative submissions that engage with the issue of motherhood experiences in/of medicine, including works of fiction, creative non-fiction, in addition to traditional academic writing, allowing an open and innovative space for critical discussion."
