CFP MoM Conference 2026
This year’s conference theme is grounded in Aurélie M. Athan’s concept of reproductive identity as a lifelong meaning-making process regarding how individuals orient themselves to reproduction, parenting, and caregiving, and the “if/when/how/who” associated with reproductive decision-making.
We invite critical reflection and collective inquiry into how maternal, reproductive, and care-centered identities are formed, challenged, and transformed across contexts, relationships, and life stages. We seek work that explores these identities not only as individual journeys, but as deeply social, political, and communal acts.
This international call for papers, performances, panels, workshops, and creative projects welcomes contributions from across disciplines and practices—including scholars, artists, poets, sociologists, maternal psychologists, philosophers, anthropologists, gender and sexuality studies faculty, birth-workers, doulas, midwives, physicians, students, and community members.
