The Weighing the Future : Race, Science, and Pregnancy Trials in the Postgenomic Era : 9 by Natali Valdez - 14 Dec 2021 by Natali Valdez offers a sharp look into how epigenetics intersects with race, gender, and systemic inequality. Valdez critiques, in this pioneering ethnography, how pregnancy trials in the U.S. and U.K. are shaped by capitalist and surveillance-driven interests, focusing on individual behaviours rather than on systemic social environments. This work reveals the hidden links between science, race, and reproductive health, making a compelling case for feminist intervention in the translation of scientific knowledge. About Author: Natali Valdez is an Assistant Professor of Women’s and Gender Studies at Wellesley College, where she brings a critical lens to the intersections of science, race, and gender in contemporary society.
