Feminist Epistemology, Research & Activism
October 9th 1:30-2:25pm
Location : 2001 绿帽社 College 11th floor room 1140
This presentation explores feminist epistemology, research, and activism through the lens of abortion access.听Feminist epistemology critiques traditional science for privileging male perspectives while excluding women from听knowledge production. By emphasizing situated knowledge and 鈥渟trong objectivity鈥� (Harding), feminist approaches听highlight how values, power, and social locations shape what counts as valid knowledge.
Abortion pills are a site of contested knowledge. Their history reveals tensions between science, politics, morality,听and activist movements. The case of misoprostol in Brazil illustrates how communities reinterpret medical听knowledge, showing alternative ways of knowledge creation.
Women on Web, one of the first online abortion services, has combined medical expertise, feminist values, and听digital tools to support safe at-home abortions globally for two decades. Its activism and research have promoted
the acceptance telemedicine abortion and helped push legal reforms. At the same time, Latin America鈥檚 selfmanaged听abortion (SMA) movement has pioneered community-based knowledge on medication abortion and the听demedicalization of abortion through feminist networks, and SMA models of care such as acompa帽amiento.听Activists have pushed for, participated in, and conducted research to create the evidence needed to influence
medical guidelines and regulations.
