Childbirth is the most common reason for hospitalization in the United States, and cesarean section is the most common form of major surgery. Yet childbirth has significance for womens' sense of identity and our understanding of the meaning of family.
This panel will offer a historical overview of the economic implications of technologically assisted birth, a discourse analysis of womens' birth narratives, and a public health perspective on birth practices and outcomes.
Sponsored by the Women's Studies Program and the Faculty Network on Women's Studies, Gender, & Sexuality. |
