She is the co-founder of Global Doctors for Choice, an international network of physicians who advocate for reproductive health and rights. Jose-Alberto Navarro is an MSc student at HEC Paris. His most recent work examines processes of fragmentation, objectification, and masculine body commodification within invisible and illicit economies created through social-networking applications. Navarro's research focuses on exploring the intersections of economics, finance, gender, and anthropology.

"To understand and explain how fatherhood is conceptualized, defined, and practiced in other regions, many of the contributors introduce new vocabularies and novel theories over the course of the 16 chapters across eight distinct parts of this volume... The result is a timely contribution that illustrates vividly how fatherhood is socially and culturally constructed, altered, contested, and, ultimately, enacted and practiced." * Choice "The work is a welcome contribution to the study of men and reproduction, with special attention to changing identities and roles in an increasingly globalized world. It serves as a call for more research towards and stronger conceptual frameworks for understanding fatherhood." * Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute "Thanks to Globalized Fatherhood we now have a benchmark set of studies with which to further build the theory necessary to study men in relation to children and mothers, as well as a splendid collection of essays each of which reveals common, unique, and often surprising ways of being fathers today, that is fatherhood in all its contradictory and mutable variations." * Global Public Health "Globalized Fatherhood, with its 16 chapters and original research on fatherhood (and related topics) from more than 20 countries comes at an opportune time. This impressive volume... covers a lot of ground...[It] is an ambitious offering that hits the mark in most of its chapters, and advances the research in a field that is sadly lacking in it. May there be more volumes on the topic -by these authors, and many others." * Gender & Development
