SEXUAL BEHAVIOR, POLITICS, and COMMUNITIES S B P C a division of the SSSP SUMMER 2014 Notes from the desk of: Elroi Windsor Division Chair Greetings SBPC members and happy summer! This is an exciting time for our division as we prepare to gather for the annual meetings. I want to encourage you all to attend our SBPC-sponsored sessions highlighted in this newsletter below. As you can see, we have many excellent papers scheduled which promise to inspire much discussion. Thanks to all of our session organizers for putting together such a great program. I also want to invite you to attend two SBPC-related events. First, our divisional meeting this year will be on Friday at 12:30pm in the Club Room. If you are interested in organizing a session next year or getting more involved with the division, this is the place to be. Even if you are a new member, please feel free to come and learn more about how we work. We will meet at a table where you will have the opportunity to meet with the folks who have worked closely with our division. In addition, please join me for a more informal gathering at the reception on Friday evening from 6:30 to 7:30pm in the Mission Grille (the Hotel Restaurant). Our division is co-sponsoring this event which has traditionally been a fun place to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. Finally, this summer marks a time of transitions. Our past newsletter editor, Karen Macke, has left her post after years of service. I want to thank her for being an exceptionally reliable and capable newsletter editor. Best of luck Karen in your future endeavors! With her departure comes the entrance of our new editor, Bethany Coston. I am pleased to welcome Bethany to this position and believe she will continue the tradition of producing newsletters that keep us up to date on issues relevant to our members. Last, this is the final note from me as Chair of the division as my tenure ends at this year's meeting. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to chair such a healthy and active division. I am sure we will continue to represent at SSSP under our newly elected Chair, Dawn Baunach. Please join me in welcoming Dawn at this year's meetings. I am wholly confident she will maintain our strength and guide us in new and exciting directions. Thanks to all of our members for your dedication to our division. I am proud to have been a part of what many past and present members refer to as "The Sexy People" division. See you in the town known for its sexiness, San Francisco!

The media and many studies focus on infertile and involuntarily childless women who are seeking treatment. They characterize this group as anxious and willing to try anything, even elaborate and financially ruinous high-tech interventions, to achieve a successful pregnancy. But the majority of women who struggle with fertility avoid treatment. The women whose interviews appear in Not Trying belong to this majority. Their attitudes vary and may change as their life circumstances evolve. Some support the prevailing cultural narrative that women are meant to be mothers and refuse to see themselves as childfree by choice. Most of these women, who come from a wider range of social backgrounds than most researchers have studied, experience deep ambivalence about motherhood and non-motherhood, never actually choosing either path. They prefer to let life unfold, an attitude that seems to reduce anxiety about not conforming to social expectations. times encounters in the media is based on studies of the experience of infertility among treatment-seekers. We know little about the experiences of other infertile women, many of whom are not white, not middle class, and not heterosexual. Kristin Wilson’s book provides us with a long overdue look at these other women, who do not fully buy into dominant discourses such as the medicalized model of infertility and the ‘Motherhood Mandate.’ They do not necessarily define themselves as infertile, they do not unambiguously desire to become mothers, and they are decidedly less committed to treatment.” —Arthur L. Greil, author of Not Yet Pregnant: Infertile Couples in Contemporary America “Kristin Wilson has looked beyond the ‘desperate infertile’ and looked at the real women who are not having babies. Some would have, had things been different; some didn’t want to; some sorta might someday kinda plan on it if things work out. Here it is that we find most of the women who are not mothers—not gloriously reveling in ‘childfree living,’ and not unendingly doing pointless fertility treatments. They are in that in-between place where no one, before Kristin Wilson, seems to have looked.” Kristin J. Wilson is Chair, Department of Anthropology, Cabrillo College. —Barbara Katz Rothman, City University of New York, author of Recreating Motherhood  New from Vanderbilt University Press!
