Join the 2025 MoM Conference on Reproductive Identities
Skip to content
For the past 20 years
, since 2005, the
Museum of Motherhood (MoM)
has been bringing together scholars, mother-artists, change makers, and community members for the Annual Academic & Arts MoM Conference.
We have welcomed participants from around the world
to join us in person and on Zoom as they share research, expertise, creative projects, and a passion for the issues, obstacles and health-related topics affecting women, m/others and families. This year is no different!
JOIN US
for this year’s theme of
Reproductive Identities and Resistance: Mothers and Others in Culture, Community and Collaboration
. Advance registration required.
Academics, Artists & Activists
This year’s conference theme
is grounded in Aurélie M. Athan’s concept of reproductive identity as a lifelong meaning-making process regarding how individuals orient themselves to reproduction, parenting, and caregiving, and the “if/when/how/who” associated with reproductive decision-making.

.
As a concept, reproductive identity
is fluid and resists pronatalist and patriarchal mandates that dictate narrow expectations about reproductive outcomes and parenting. It centers an individual’s lived experiences and associated meanings about all aspects of reproduction, including being childfree, pregnancy, infertility, abortion, pregnancy loss and grief, adoption, and extended family systems of caregiving.
The various and ever-changing meanings
associated with reproduction (or reproductive potential) across the lifespan is paramount to understanding reproductive identity as a concept with emotional, spiritual, financial, familial, cultural, and political influences and implications. As a conference theme, we welcome work that shares interdisciplinary, feminist, holistic, developmental, and narrative inquiry with reproductive identity as a concept.
ATTEND the MoM Conference -2026
Join us for The Museum of Motherhood’s Annual Academic and Arts Conference March 27-29, 2026.
The conference
Reproductive Identities & Resistance: Mothers and Others in Culture, Community & Collaboration
will feature the work of mother scholars, artists, and world changers with panels, art, and student presentations in addition to scholarly work presented by individuals around the world.
The conference will be hosted live and in-person
on Friday and Saturday at The Edge on USF St Pete campus in St. Petersburg, Florida. Sunday is reserved for remote access only.

We invite critical reflection and collective inquiry
into how maternal, reproductive, and care-centered identities are formed, challenged, and transformed across contexts, relationships, and life stages. We seek work that explores these identities not only as individual journeys, but as deeply social, political, and communal acts.
