WADE affirmed Americans’ constitutional right to legal abortion in 1973, many abortion providers today still face stigma for the work they do. Our Bodies Our Doctors , the newest documentary film from psychology professor emerita Jan Haaken, highlights the stories of several generations of abortion providers and the struggles they encountered in the past—and still encounter to this day. Haaken, who directed the documentary, is a clinical psychologist and previously worked as a nurse at a women’s health center. This is her seventh feature-length film. Our Bodies Our Doctors premiered at the Portland International Film Festival in March. Growing up black in Portland IN THE OPENING pages of Survival Math: Notes on an All-American Family , author Mitchell Jackson ’99, MA ’02 describes returning to the Northeast Portland streets where he grew up and seeing yoga studios, bike lanes and other “monuments to privilege,” but not a single black person. The scene contrasts with what he experienced as a youth, which he recounts in Survival Math , a memoir which covers some of the same ground as Jackson’s 2013 autobiographical novel, The Residue Years . This book, published by Simon & Schuster, is a true look at his journey from drug-dealing youth to aspiring novelist—all in Jackson’s unique poetic prose: “… working a part-time, and only-time, gig at The Oregonian’s downtown insert facility stacking pallet after pallet of inky-ass newspapers. For bread to live. For bread to leave.” 
