PERINATAL is an interdisciplinary, multimedia symposium that was held at George Mason University on October 7, 2009.
We examined contemporary birth practices, and how they affect the lives of birthing women:
- trends in feminist thinking about childbirth,
- the real-world impact of current divisions in feminist thought,
- the effectiveness of current advocacy efforts.
NEW: You can listen online to may of the sesssions, and see online handouts provided by the speakers, by viewing the schedule. We'll post photos from the day, audio, and transcripts for many sessions over the coming weeks.
