Jenny Higgins is the Bissell Professor of Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, where she also directs the Division of Reproductive and Population Health. Higgins leads the UW Collaborative for Reproductive Equity (www.core.wisc.edu), an interdisciplinary research initiative that focuses on abortion, contraception, and other aspects of reproductive autonomy in Wisconsin and beyond. Several CDE faculty and trainees are involved in CORE’s research and community. While much of Higgins’s scholarship has focused on fertility, pregnancy ambivalence, sexuality, and contraceptive use, recent research focuses more squarely on the role of abortion restrictions in shaping people’s health and well-being.
