Congratulations to the winner, Raphaël Perrin, who has been awarded the prize for his article: "Abortion in France’s ‘Medical Deserts’: How Healthcare Professionals Are Contributing to the Production of Territorial Inequalities".
What mechanisms produce unequal access to voluntary abortion in France? An ethnographic survey of a rural French département provides some answers.
Raphaël Perrin is a postdoc in sociology currently working at the IRIS research lab on social issues which collaborates with INSERM, France’s national medical research institute. Perrin’s research focuses on medical domination and how it operates in connection with gender, social class, ethno-racial origin, and age to produce health inequalities and medical violence. He did his PhD on abortion as practiced France and physicians’ attitudes toward abortion. He is currently working on the medical experiences on LGBTI+ persons.
