Convergent Reproductive Governance and the Normalization of Caesarean Birth in Northern Thailand

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Caesarean section (C‐section) rates in Thailand have nearly doubled over the past two decades, a trend often attributed to women's preferences, convenience, or advanced maternal age. Drawing on ethnographic research in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, this article argues that such explanations are insufficient. I show that rising C‐section rates

The geometry of cosmological correlators

SciPost Physics
We provide a first principle definition of cosmological correlation functions for a large class of scalar toy models in arbitrary FRW cosmologies, in terms of novel geometries we name weighted cosmological polytopes.
