Lisa E. Wright
Dr. Lisa E. Wright is a Lecturer in the University Writing Program and an affiliate faculty member of the Medicine, Science, and Humanities program at Johns Hopkins University—her courses center on Black maternal health, reproductive justice, and Black midwives.
Her writing has been published in Hippocampus Magazine, and Praxis: A Writing Center Journal. She has a co-authored book chapter “Creative Writers Teach Techniques for Analyzing Any Text” in Who Teaches Writing?
She is working on a manuscript “The Ring of Fire: A Memoir” which chronicles her homebirths with her midhusband. It further examines Black women’s birthing choices, with a particular focus on the delegitimation of Black midwives, and on creating safe birthing spaces inside, and outside of medical institutions.
