control through a feminist critique of populationism. We build on Angus and
Butler’s (2011) definition of populationism as an ideological position which
holds that population is the primary driver of social, political and ecological
problems. We analyze the interwoven demographic, geographic and biopolitical
dimensions of populationism through our demo, geo and biopopulationism
framework.</span></p>

typical understanding of population control as a top-down, coercive and at
times violent curtailment of fertility, most often targeting poor women of
color, particularly in the global South but also in the North. While we analyze
current manifestations of fertility control that continue this destructive
legacy, we also point to a wider set of processes that restrict bodies,
families and communities, produce segmented and segregated spaces, and
determine whose lives are valuable and reproducible, and whose are not. These
processes are of particular significance because of the ways that they produce,
reinforce, and naturalize inequalities along lines of race, class, gender and
geography. They also perpetuate the idea of an ongoing war of absolute humanity
against absolute nature. </span></p>

rethinking of today’s population politics from feminist perspectives. We write
in the spirit of the feminist resistance to population control from the heyday
of the international women’s health movement and recognize in particular the foundational
work of writer, activist and teacher, Betsy Hartmann, in challenging population
control. </span></p>
