THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 240: War on Abortion w/ Lillian Cicerchia and Sara Mellors-Rodriquez

Jason, Pascal, and Marcus speak with Lillian Cicerchia and Sarah Mellors about the ongoing political struggle over abortion.   Lillian Cicerchia Lillian is a post-doc at the Institute of Philosophy at the Free University of Berlin. Her areas of specialization are political philosophy, feminist philosophy, and critical theory. Her research is about capitalism, structural injustice, and the intersection of the two, especially the ways in which capitalism influences experiences of social group oppression. Her work also asks how contexts of structural injustice frame the way that we think about our normative criteria for justice in terms of democratic rights and participation.   Sarah Mellors Sarah Mellors Rodriguez is an Assistant Professor of East Asian History at Missouri State University. Her forthcoming book (Cambridge University Press, 2022) examines birth control and abortion in China from the early twentieth century to the present.   About TIR Thank you, guys, again for taking the time to check this out.
