Why is Cuba’s birth rate falling? With Dr Elise Andaya
Manage episode 290025707 series 2887605
In this episode we talk to Dr Elise Andaya, a cultural medical anthropologist and associate professor at State University of New York in Albany. Dr Andaya’s research encompasses questions relating to reproductive health care, kinship, gender, and health policy and health inequalities in Cuba and the United States. In this conversation, we discuss the ethnographic work that led to her 2014 monograph, Conceiving Cuba: Women, Reproduction and the State in the Contemporary Era, the intersection of policy and reproductive choices in revolutionary Cuba, declining birth rates and her current research projects into COVID-era reproductive health disparities and the impact of health policy on pregnant minority service workers in New York City.
