The Brown Reproductive Justice Collaborative is a group of faculty and students seeking to advance reproductive justice scholarship and practice at Brown, in Providence, and beyond. This group is convened by the Pembroke Center in partnership with the Population Studies and Training Center and the School of Public Health. Our goal is to foster and support collaborations in reproductive justice research, advocacy, and community engagement, and to host meetings and events that help advance reproductive justice locally, nationally, and/or globally. 

The RJC hosts monthly lunch meetings that are open to any Brown faculty or students. To be added to our mailing list to learn about our lunches and other events, please fill out this form.

About our approach:

Reproductive justice is an intersectional analytic framework and social justice movement originating in and centering the work of Black, Indigenous, and feminist of color activists and scholars. It expands the framework of reproductive rights to a broader understanding of bodily autonomy, the right to parent in a safe and healthy environment and at a time of one's choosing, and the right not to become a parent. Members of this reproductive justice research working group come from a variety of disciplines and share in common a desire to better coordinate and amplify the reproductive justice research and advocacy happening at Brown.
