Dr Priya Sharma is an interdisciplinary scholar working across Anthropology, Sociology, and Philosophy. Drawing both from her academic training (across sciences, humanities, and social sciences) as well as experience of working with various social justice movements, she researches the issues of ethics and justice in surrogacy, midwifery, respectful birthing and mothering, research across disciplinary boundaries, technology and society, speculative futures, bioethics, care in academia, and community-led relief initiatives amongst other things. Her work has been published in journals like Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy and Birth: Issues in Perinatal Care, in an edited volume on Ethnography and Fieldwork: Foundations of Qualitative Research, in The Routledge Companion to Gender and Reproduction, and in a newsletter Bioethicslinks. Two of her papers are forthcoming in edited volumes in Springer Nature and Vernon Press and currently, she is co-editing a volume under the Ethics of Care Series on ‘Technology, Mothering, and Care Ethics’ with Peeters Publishers Leuven. She is also serving as a Guest Editor for a Special Journal Issue on ‘Critical Midwifery Studies’ in Birth: Issues in Perinatal Care.
Along with this, Priya serves as the India Lead for Birth Futures Project and co-lead for the South Asian Bioethics Community. Having collaboratively run multiple relief initiatives in COVID, she currently leads URHope-Foodbank, an initiative looking after the emergency needs of the marginalized in India. She loves organizing events and she dances,everyday, without fail.
