Lucy Hall is a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam. Lucy's research focuses on the gendered construction of protection and the gendered logics of statist ontologies of protection. In particular, Lucy is interested in the protection of conflict-affected populations (civilians, internally displaced persons and refugees) and the ways in which states discursively construct protection through existing and evolving laws, normative frameworks, policies and practices.Anna L. Weissman is a PhD Candidate and Instructor at the University of Florida, and former FLAS Fellow at UF's Center for European Studies (2013-2017). Her research theorizes the relations between sexuality, reproduction, an national identity. Anna focuses on same-sex reproductive rights in Europe, uncovering the intertwining histories of normative sexuality, traditional procreative gender roles, and the mythology of the nation-state, developing the concept of Repronormativity. Anna has published in the Journal of GLBT Family Studies, the International Feminist Journal of Politics, the Journal of Women, Politics, and Policy, and in the Routledge Handbook of Gender and Security.Laura J. Shepherd is Professor of International Relations at the University of Sydney, Australia, and a Visiting Senior Fellow at the LSE Centre for Women, Peace and Security in London, UK. Laura's primary research focuses on the United Nations Security Council's "Women, Peace and Security" agenda. She has written extensively on the formulation of UNSCR1325 and subsequent Women, Peace and Security resolutions. Laura is author/editor of several books, and many academic articles in journals such as European Journal of International Relations, International Affairs, and International Feminist Journal of Politics.

We are all affected by, and have a stake in, how life on the planet is reproduced. Yet we pay little attention to the power relations and global impact of maternality, even in the midst of planetary crises. Filling an enormous gap, leading scholars in this break-through collection ask hard questions across wide-ranging issues and deliver cogent analyses that demand our attention. Time to listen up!
