Joining us this week on the Radicals & Revolutionaries Lab is Anna Louie Sussman, an independent journalist based in New York writing about gender, economics, and reproduction. She’s currently working on a book, with a working title of Inconceivable: Reproduction in An Age of Uncertainty, about people’s challenges starting their families. Our host, Jillian Foster, speaks with Anna about her forthcoming book & the questions it poses: what are the constraints of work-life, what do we value, how do we leave time for doing work that doesn’t “count” as productive? This episode digs into that and more as Anna shares how uncertainty affects our decision to start a family, the importance of focusing on an individual’s life narrative over macro-aggregate data, the benefits of increased fertility awareness, and how she navigates work-life balance. Anna’s work and this conversation is a humbling reminder that there is no one right way to “do” family, to “do” work, or to “do” life.
