This class is designed to give students an introduction to the basics of critical reading, writing, and research at the college level through the study of midwifery and childbirth from a multidisciplinary perspective. It explores how the practices of reproductive health and the professions of midwifery and obstetrics changed over time. The course also takes a cross-cultural perspective on issues related to childbirth and pre-natal, birthing, and post-natal care. Students will learn to evaluate a range of sources, including art, diaries, scholarly articles, films, television, novels, and interviews.
