A Black Queer Medical and Public Health Bibliography

This selective bibliography emerged from an academic-year long collection by the Gxnecologx Justice Lab of academic publications in medicine and public health that focus on or include the Black queer population on reproductive health matters. We sought to access the representation of the Black queer community in that literature. This is not an exhaustive bibliography but represents most of the key identified literature to-date of reproductive health research in medicine and public health.

We share these references for public use; and as a call to action to interrogate the racial, gender, sexual, and class politics of research and publication in these disciplines about Black queer reproductive health; how identities and social experiences are accounted for and written into medical and public health publications; and how may we deepen the efforts to apply Queer Black feminist strategies to medical and public health discourses on reproductive health across the wider spectrum of topics such as reproductive cancer, STDs, family making, gender affirming surgeries, and birthing.
