Associate professor of anthropology, Joanna Mishtal<\/a>, Ph.D., has won an award for her book, The Politics of Morality: The Church, the State and Reproductive Rights in Postsocialist Poland<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mishtal\u2019s book was selected as the winner of the Adele E. Clarke Book Award. The award honors Mishtal\u2019s extensive research into the politics of gender, reproductive rights, health and social policies during the postsocialist period. For the book, she collected data from Krak\u00f3w, Warsaw, and Gda\u0144sk, Poland. The award is given by the ReproNetwork which only chooses a winner every other year. It honors interdisciplinary subjects and scholars in fields such as sociology, gender studies and history.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is such a great honor for me to be selected as the winner of the Adele E. Clarke Book Award for the best scholarly book on the topic of reproduction,\u201d Mishtal said. \u201cThis award is extremely meaningful for me because it is a recognition at the national-level in my field.\u201d<\/p>\n

As an anthropologist, Mishtal\u2019s focus is on the politics of reproductive rights and health. The book, which was published in 2015, is an anthropological study of the expansion of power by the religious right and its effects on individual rights and social values. It examines the contentious nature of reproductive rights politics that emerged since the fall of state socialism in 1989, and in light of the 2004 EU integration. In its two years since publication, her work has already received positive reviews in peer-reviewed journals.<\/p>\n

\u201cReceiving a book award two years later in 2017 gives the book a second wind, so to speak, and brings it to the attention of an even wider audience of the scholars as well as the public,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The announcement of the book award was also sent to the American Association for the History of Medicine, disseminating her research into new fields with a different audience. She is currently expanding her research, and completed a project this past summer on reproductive care travel between the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom. As for future plans, Mishtal will be traveling to Malta in 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cReproductive rights are severely restricted in Malta,\u201d she said. \u201cWith these projects I hope to build data toward my next book, which will be a comparative analysis of European countries with severely restricted rights. My work will explore how particular church-state relationships shape reproductive policies in different geopolitical contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
