Abortion Liberalization and Accompaniment in the Southern Cone
For this summer research, I am contributing to a comparative study of two patterns of pro-abortion activism in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. The first focuses on efforts to liberalize abortion laws through both social movements and legislative advocacy. The second examines the work of autonomous feminist collectives that support pregnant individuals in the self-management of abortion, particularly in contexts where abortion is not legally accessible. As part of this project, I work with structured interviews conducted with activists involved in one or both forms of activism. My role includes reviewing and editing initial interview transcriptions and participating in the thematic analysis of these transcripts to identify key patterns, themes, and insights across cases.
Message To Sponsor
Thank you so much for the funding. It helped me connect with my law professor throughout the summer and dive deeper into understanding research. A lot of these opportunities don't come around so often, so thank you to you and Professor Abrams.
