I’m happy to share that I have received an ERC Starting Grant for my project "Diverging patterns of reproductive behavior within countries across the globe”. I can’t thank enough my colleagues and mentors for all the support I received along the way! @ERC_Research

Following a fallow period in my publication journey, I am delighted to announce that my article "Governance by Gaslight: The Reproductive Politics of the Two Child Limit" has now been published, open access, in Social Politics. academic.oup.com/sp/advance-art…
