Topics:
Education, Capacity Building, Social Justice Awareness
Description : The contemporary state of teen childbearing in Iowa is positioned by community leaders as a discursive battleground for intervention. In focus groups of community stakeholders from a variety of Iowa’s industry sectors, the discourse surrounding the childbearing teen body is framed as a public health “problem” due to absent-minded or led astray teens and, thus, in need of organizational intervention. Utilizing Foucault’s (1980) framework of governmentality, this study draws out the role of self-sufficiency in grooming teens to self-govern and how community stakeholders see themselves as interventionists while at times struggling with cultural and religious practices.
