- Description: Existing reviews of research on voluntary childlessness generally take the form of narrative summaries, focusing on main topics investigated over time. In this chapter, the authors extend previous literature reviews to conduct a systematic review and content analysis of socio-historical and geopolitical aspects of knowledge production about voluntary childlessness. The dataset comprised 195 peer-reviewed articles that were coded and analysed to explore, inter alia: the main topic under investigation; country location of authors; sample characteristics; theoretical framework and methodology. The findings are discussed in relation to the socio-historical contexts of knowledge production, drawing on theoretical insights concerned with the politics of location, representation and research practice. The shifts in the topics of research from the 1970s, when substantial research first emerged, uphold the view of voluntary childlessness as non-normative. With some regional variation, knowledge is dominated by quantitative, hard science methodologies and mostly generated about privileged, married women living in the global North. The implications of this for future research concerned with reproductive freedom are outlined.

How can conversational analysis contribute to ‘doing’ critical work?: extending the methodological conversation

- Description: Conversation analysis (CA) has been criticised as being overly obsessed with the intricate details of conversation and bracketing off the wider socio-structural power relations in which conversation is embedded. Many scholars regard CA as a methodology that is incompatible with, and thus incapable of doing, critical work. This paper seeks to contribute to the methodological conversation by proposing a dual analytical methodology that merges understandings of talk from CA and critical discursive approaches, and attends to both the conversational (turn-by-turn) context as well as the discursive resources that inhabit talk. This is accomplished through a triangulatory activity that takes different conceptualizations of ‘context’ into consideration and investigates how subject positions are worked up on a micro- (turnby-turn) and macro-level. The authors illustrate this approach using institutional talk collected at a UK diabetes clinic and from interviews investigating how employers talk about their domestic workers in South Africa.
