The Irish Examiner article “Geographic gaps in accessing scans among issues in abortion provision” is a summary of our WHO-funded study published in Plos One last week and titled “Abortion policy implementation in Ireland: Lessons from the community model of care“.

Many thanks to journalist Noel Baker for a detailed write-up of our publication.

The New Books Network podcast series and Dr. Piotr Kosicki of the University of Maryland kindly invited me to talk about the Church-State war on reproductive rights in Poland. Here’s the episode as part of the New Books in Eastern European Studies: https://newbooksnetwork.com/the-politics-of-morality

Surveillance, control, and abuse of power are persistent themes.

Thank you Dr. Kosicki, the host of the podcast, and the New Books Network for the conversation.

Grateful for the chance to contribute to the NYT article on this important conversation. See NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/22/upshot/abortion-us-roe-global.html Journalist: @clairecm

I’m grateful to have my research and publications during the COVID-19 pandemic recognized with the 2021 Women of Distinction Award. I’ve been fortunate to work in fantastic international teams on projects funded by the WHO and the ERC about reproductive health and policies. We really pulled together to manage pandemic difficulties and ensure our projects run successfully despite the many challenges in the last 2 years.

Also nice to see my colleague and collaborator on another study (on LGB healthcare) Lindsay Taliaferro at UCF’s College of Medicine among the awardees.
