Michelle Murphy est une auteure qui explore l'interaction complexe entre la connaissance médicale et l'incertitude sociétale. Son travail navigue dans les manières complexes dont les individus comprennent et vivent la maladie, particulièrement dans des contextes de diagnostics ambigus et de préoccupations environnementales. L'érudition de Murphy examine de manière critique comment les discours scientifiques et médicaux façonnent nos perceptions de la santé et de la maladie, influençant ultimement nos réalités vécues.
In Seizing the Means of Reproduction, Michelle Murphy's initial focus on the alternative health practices developed by radical feminists in the United States during the 1970s and 1980s opens into a sophisticated analysis of the transnational entanglements of American empire, population control, neoliberalism, and late-twentieth-century feminisms.
