Our host, Dr Zeynep Gurtin, speaks with medical anthropologist Professor Susie Kilshaw and feminist philosopher Dr Victoria Browne, who reflect on their own routes into studying miscarriage and how their different disciplines help illuminate the subject. Together, they explore why miscarriage has often been marginal within feminist thought, despite its clear links to questions of bodily autonomy, stigma, reproductive politics and gendered expectations.A key theme of the conversation is the need to move beyond a single dominant narrative of miscarriage as always a straightforward bereavement. While recognising that many people do experience miscarriage as profound loss, Susie and Vic argue that public discourse, clinical care and media representations often leave too little room for the full spectrum of responses, including ambivalence, pragmatism, uncertainty and even relief. The episode examines how celebrity stories, healthcare settings and wider social expectations can shape the way miscarriage is understood and talked about.The discussion also introduces the Feminist Miscarriage Project, a public engagement initiative led by Susie and Vic, that brings miscarriage into conversation with other pregnancy endings, including abortion and experiences linked to fertility treatment. As part of the project, a new photography exhibition entitled Pregnancy Endings, creates space for multiple representations and experiences, challenging silences and encouraging more honest, inclusive conversations about reproductive lives.The Pregnancy Endings exhibition will open in London on 28 April 2026 until 4 May 2026.
