About the Speakers
Dr. Gretchen Sisson is a sociologist who studies abortion and adoption in the United States. She is the author of Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood. Her research examining adoption decision-making after abortion denial was cited in the Supreme Court’s dissent in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health from Justices Breyer, Kagan, and Sotomayor.
Joy Parker is an Indigenous Abenaki granddaughter, niece, mother, auntie, midwife, and lawyer. She is one of the very few midwife-lawyers in the country. As an attorney, Joy focuses on serving Tribal governments and Native organizations with a focus on Tribal sovereignty, healthcare, and reproductive justice issues.
