Subject: Global Reproductive Health Forum


Hello! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce
re/productions, an on-line journal, which is part of the Global
Reproductive Health Forum in South Asia.
------------------------
Re/productions
…expanding conceptions of public health to include the social conditions
re/producing 'health'


The discourses of reproductive health and gender have often been
dominated by conventional bio-medical approaches.  Innovative work at
all levels does not fit the tight compartmentalized mold prescribed to
it.  In South Asia, attempts to discuss these issues frequently overlook
the heterogeneous nature of the region.  By adopting standard models, we
exclude more indigenous analysis and interventions. Re/productions
provides a space to cross these disciplinary boundaries and to integrate
alternative perspectives into our work. 

Re/productions is an on-line journal dedicated to creating a forum for
presenting and discussing serious work by researchers, activists, and
organizations challenging basic assumptions about reproductive health
and gender.  Submissions should focus on expanding understandings of
'health' and making connections with people and issues outside the
traditional scope of public health in South Asia.

Re/productions is part of the Global Reproductive Health Forum at 
The Harvard School of Public Health
