Body-ody-odily Autonomy

Ecofeminism meets psychology! Making breakfast, going to the grocery store, choosing your favorite deodorant - these are all small-scale examples of bodily autonomy. What does bodily autonomy look like on a large scale? What are the implications of history on our modern ideas of anatomy? Ashton breaks down the historical and medical aspects of bodily autonomy, while touching on how it’s being threatened by systems of patriarchy and white supremacy today. Cricket continues the theme of the episode by discussing anesthesia for …. trees (but definitely not for people getting IUDs)? They explore what plant behaviors could say about plant consciousness, as well as what plant consciousness means for our interactions with the more than human world. This episode is dense and changed the way we think about bodily autonomy and consciousness - we hope it’s as engaging and exciting for you to engage with as it was for us to record. Listen AD FREE on Patreon, for just $1!LinktreeInstagram and Tiktok | @outonearthpodEmail Us! | [email protected] CITEDVagina Obscura by Rachel E GrossNonenforcement AgreementTuskegee Syphilis ExperimentHenrietta LacksTestosterone TherapySenate Bill 613Planta Sapiens by Paco Calvo with Natalie LawrenceEve’s Herbs by John.
