Abstract

  • This Symposium introduces a new feature for Modern Asian Studies. The editors felt that while wecontinuetopublishlongformanddeeplyresearchedarticles, weshould also periodically highlight some of the most wide-ranging and widely read articles of the past five years and invite experts in other parts of the world to comment on their themes. The first Symposium of this type addresses the issue of abortion and its regulation by the state. We therefore asked important specialists on different parts of the world to comment on the article by Professor Mitra Sharafi published by Modern Asian Studies in 2021. The Symposium is rounded off by a response from Professor Sharafi herself.
