Best Babies, Feminist Mothers and the New India

  • サマリー

  • In the first episode of the Vagina Varsity Podcast, host Disha Ray is joined by Professor Mytheli Sreenivas, who is an Associate Professor of History and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at the Ohio State University. Her work centers on the history of modern South Asia, with a focus on women’s and gender history, the history of sexuality and the family, colonialism and nationalism, and the cultural and political economy of reproduction. She is the author of Wives, Widows, and Concubines: The Conjugal Family Ideal in Colonial India where she explored several questions about the emotional life of families—whom to marry, whom to love, whom to care for—shaped, and were shaped by, shifting economic, political, and social relations during the last decades of colonial rule. In her latest book,  Reproductive Politics and the Making of Modern India, she writes about biological reproduction and how it became central to reproducing India as a modern nation-state and shows that reproduction was first called into public question in response to colonial-era crises, and was central to feminist, nationalist, and modernizing projects from the late nineteenth century.
