This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2). Some efforts to manage natural resources have relied on family planning initiatives designed to address broader demographic concerns about population rise. This doctoral dissertation project examines how an understanding of overpopulation connects to efforts to slow fertility rates in vulnerable ecosystems, and what relationship the resulting family planning initiatives have with reproductive behavior. This research project asks how environmental scientists and organizations understand and communicate the relationship between reproduction and conservation. In addition to providing funding for the training of a graduate student in anthropology in the methods of empirical, findings will be disseminated to stakeholder organizations that shape the design and implementation of conservation programs. This project also broadens the participation of groups underrepresented in science.This doctoral dissertation research project explores the relationship between family planning and environmental conservation policies aimed at addressing population concerns. Through an ethnographic study of demographers, marine scientists, family planning practitioners, and women participating in family planning, the project examines the processes underlying the production of population data, and the relationship these dynamics have to women’s own experiences and understandings of reproductive freedom. Ultimately, this study contributes to new understandings of the ways in which demography and reproductive policy shape women’s reproductive lives. The methods include participant observation, semi-structured interviews and life history interviews with demographic scientists, community-based family planning practitioners, and women of reproductive age, as well as archival data analysis and supply chain mapping. The project contributes to a growing scholarship on the environmental dimensions of reproduction, and advances scholarship in political ecology and science studies more broadly.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》（公法117-2）全部或部分资助的。管理自然资源的一些努力依赖于旨在解决人口增长更广泛的人口关注的计划生育计划。该博士学位论文项目考试对人口过多的理解如何与较慢脆弱生态系统的生育率减缓的努力以及由此产生的计划生育计划与生殖行为有什么关系。该研究项目询问环境科学家和组织如何理解和传达繁殖与保护之间的关系。除了为培训人类学研究生以经验方法的培训提供资金外，还将向利益相关者组织传播发现，以塑造保护计划的设计和实施。该项目还扩大了科学中代表性不足的团体的参与。该博士学位论文研究项目探讨了计划生育与环境保护政策旨在解决人口关注的关系。通过对人口统计学家，海洋科学家，计划生育从业人员和参加计划生育的妇女的民族志研究，该项目考试人口数据生产的过程以及这些动态与妇女自己的经验和对生殖自由的理解所具有的关系。最终，这项研究有助于对人口和生殖政策塑造妇女生殖生活的方式的新理解。这些方法包括参与者的观察，半结构化访谈和生活史与人口科学家，基于社区的计划生育从业人员以及生殖年龄的妇女以及档案数据分析和供应链映射的妇女。该项目有助于越来越多的科学在繁殖的环境方面，更广泛地在政治生态学和科学研究中进步。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估标准来通过评估来获得的支持。
