How do we acquire knowledge about societies? Does how we acquire social knowledge shape what we know? How conscious must we be of our own experiences as we do our research? What does feminism add to our methods and modes of research? Now in its second edition, Feminist Ethnography: Thinking through Methodologies, Challenges, and Possibilities (Rowman and Littlefield, 2022) by Drs. Crista Craven and Dána-Ain Davis answers these questions. The book is at once a how-to manual for doing feminist ethnography and a compendium of contributions from influential feminist ethnographers. Designed for students, scholars, community activists, and anyone interested in social knowledge, the book is multi-vocal and interdisciplinary and promotes critical methodologies as sites for reflection, collaboration, and creativity. It is a particularly important work for this moment in which anti-DEI efforts aim to minimize the work and perspectives of minoritized groups.

She is the director of the Center for the Study of Women and Society at the CUNY Graduate Center. Davis is the author, co-author, or co-editor of five books including Feminist Ethnography.

The normal gestation period for birth is 40 weeks, and anything under 37 weeks is considered premature or preterm birth. Preeti experienced a premature birth at 24 weeks in 1989, weighing only 2 pounds, an astonishingly early birth that she feels incredibly lucky to have survived. Premature birth can impact health in a variety of ways over the course of someone's life, including neurodevelopmental challenges, cardiovascular disease, congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease and more. These impacts can present throughout the course of someone's lifespan, often unpredictably. In this episode of the Major Pain podcast, Preeti discusses not only her personal history with preterm birth, but also the wide-ranging spectrum of how premature birth can impact someone's life. She also shares the incredible steps that were taken to keep her alive at birth in 1989. So far, the majority of Preeti's challenges have been neurodevelopmental. She lives with ADHD and anxiety, as well as mild issues with executive functioning, visual-spatial learning and focusing. Luckily she has not experienced any issues with her organs so far, but remains constantly aware that there is potential for these issues to develop at any point in her life. As an adult she has made it her mission to educate other people about premature birth, to help both patients and their parents learn about how their lives may be impacted. Preeti has assembled a collection of research papers for anyone interested in learning more about premature birth.

Turned My Whole Life Upside Down': South Carolina Woman Charged with Murder After Giving Birth to Baby Prematurely On ToiletAtlanta Black Star, By Jill Jordan Sieder , on September 24, 2024The conversation focuses on the case of Mary Marsh, a young Black woman from South Carolina who was charged with murder after the loss of her pregnancy. This tragic event unfolded in March 2023, and Marsh, just 23 years old, was accused of failing to save her newborn after giving birth in a bathroom. This incident brings to light the severe consequences of today's reproductive laws, which increasingly criminalize women over the outcomes of their pregnancies. The case is seen as a reflection of the systemic issues in healthcare that disproportionately affect marginalized communities, especially Black women.The discussion highlights the broader impact of abortion bans and the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which has escalated the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes. These restrictive laws create an environment where women fear seeking medical care during pregnancy, knowing that any complications or losses might lead to legal consequences. Black women, in particular, are often the most vulnerable in these situations, already grappling with healthcare disparities and higher maternal mortality rates. The speakers emphasize how society's expectations of pregnancy outcomes are often unrealistic, and yet, when complications arise, these women are treated with suspicion instead of care.While some claim that these types of cases are unrelated to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, the speakers argue that the rollback of reproductive rights has made pregnancy itself a legally precarious condition. Women, especially those from marginalized backgrounds, are increasingly exposed to legal risks simply for being pregnant. The fear of criminal charges discourages women from seeking medical help, further exacerbating the already severe gaps in healthcare access and outcomes for women of color.The Non-Prophets, Episode 23.43.2 featuring  Kara Griffin, AJ and Infidel64 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Today we have a Jes, a postpartum doula on the Empowered Beginnings team, on to talk to us about the birth and NICU stay of her second child. She wanted to share this story to bring light to the world of being a NICU parent. Jes is a wife and mother of two children, postpartum doula and pediatric sleep consultant, and an passionate plant and pug lover. SummaryJes shares her birth stories, focusing on her second pregnancy and birth. Her first birth was a natural, birth center birth with midwifery care. For her second pregnancy, she experienced complications with high blood pressure and had to switch to an OB. She was put on bed rest and eventually gave birth at 32 weeks. Despite the challenges, she had an unmedicated birth and her baby was taken to the NICU. Jes reflects on the stark contrast between her two birth experiences and the emotional journey of having a baby in the NICU. She shares her experience of having a baby in the NICU and offers advice for other parents going through a similar situation. She emphasizes the importance of being with your baby as much as possible and taking advantage of the help offered by friends and family.

GDP Script/ Top Stories for Jan 28th      Publish Date:  Jan 26th        From the Drake Realty Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Sunday, January 28th and Happy 49th Birthday to MLB player Jermaine Dye. ***01.28.24 – BIRTHDAY – JERMAIN DYE*** I'm Bruce Jenkins and here are your top stories presented by Gwinnett County Public Schools.   Gwinnett Schools Face Security Breach as Thirty-Seven Cars are Vandalized on Tuesday Gwinnett Commissioners Request Reevaluation of Mulberry Cityhood Proposal from Legislators Research Reveals Long-term Developmental Impact of Premature Birth on Children's Lives All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: GCPS   STORY 1: Thirty-seven Cars Were Broken Into at Gwinnett Schools Tuesday. Here's What We Know. Gwinnett County Public Schools Police are investigating a series of car break-ins at Archer High School, Trip Elementary School, and Brookwood Elementary School. A total of 37 cars were unlawfully entered or broken into within an hour and a half. The incidents involved theft of personal items, including electronics, driver's licenses, credit cards, and purses. The police are reviewing security camera footage and collaborating with local and state law enforcement agencies to determine any patterns. Although the thieves encountered various levels of vehicle security, the police emphasize the importance of securing valuables, locking car doors, and reporting suspicious activity. The investigation is ongoing. Chief Tony Lockard urges reporting at 770-513-6715 or via the GCPS Tips app. STORY 2: Gwinnett Commissioners Urge Legislators To Reconsider Mulberry Cityhood Proposal Gwinnett County commissioners unanimously approved a resolution urging state legislators to carefully consider the implications of creating the proposed city of Mulberry in the northeastern part of the county. State Rep. Chuck Efstration introduced legislation for a referendum on Mulberry's incorporation, responding to concerns about a 700-unit apartment development. County officials emphasize the current service delivery model's efficiency and comprehensive nature. The commissioners argue that Mulberry's structure, relying on Gwinnett for services like police and fire protection, may negatively impact the proposed city, the existing 16 cities, and Gwinnett as a whole. A fact sheet outlining concerns has been sent to Gwinnett legislators.   STORY 3: Premature birth can affect children's development in later life: study A new 13-year study, following over a million births, reveals that children born moderately (32-33 weeks) or late preterm (34-36 weeks) face higher long-term risks of neurodevelopmental difficulties. These difficulties include conditions like epilepsy, autism, ADHD, and cerebral palsy. The study emphasizes that children born in these windows constitute 80% of all preterm births, and the risks should not be underestimated. The research, published in The BMJ, examined 1,281,690 children born in Sweden between 1998 and 2012, concluding that compared to full-term births, those born moderately or late preterm showed higher risks for various neurodevelopmental impairments.   We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

We'll be right back.   Break 2: TOM WAGES   STORY 4: Kanekoa Texeira Tabbed as New Gwinnett Stripers Manager The Atlanta Braves have announced their minor league coaching staffs for the 2024 season. Kanekoa Texeira, a former G-Braves pitcher, will manage the Gwinnett Stripers, joined by pitching coaches Kevin McAvoy and Mike McCarthy, hitting coach Dan DeMent, and coach Wigberto Nevarez. Texeira, the eighth Gwinnett manager, has prior coaching experience and managed High-A Rome and Double-A Mississippi. McAvoy, returning to Gwinnett, served as the Stripers' interim pitching coach in 2022. McCarthy joins from the Oakland Athletics as the bullpen coach. DeMent, with 15 years in the Tampa Bay Rays organization, becomes the hitting coach, and Nevarez continues as coach for Gwinnett. The staff also includes strength and conditioning coach Tyler Enns and athletic trainers Greg Harrel and Joel Wiggins. Gwinnett Stripers' Opening Night is on April 2 against Louisville. STORY 5: Georgia Begins Work on Sanford Stadium Hedges The University of Georgia's football team is revitalizing the iconic hedges around Sanford Stadium, known as "Between the Hedges," a tradition since the stadium's dedication in 1929. The current hedges, installed during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, are reaching the end of their typical lifespan. The university has been growing replacement hedges, and the Athletic Association will start proactive revitalization work in February. This project involves full soil replacement, irrigation, drainage work, and replanting with the same lineage of hedges that have been part of the Georgia sidelines for 95 years. The revitalization is set to be completed by the 2024 G-Day Game.   We'll be back in a moment.   Break 3: INGLES 2   STORY 6: Atlanta Falcons Announce Raheem Morris as Head Coach The Atlanta Falcons have appointed Raheem Morris as their new head coach. Morris, who spent the last three seasons as the defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams, takes over as the 19th head coach in Falcons history. In addition, Terry Fontenot will continue as the general manager, reporting directly to team owner Arthur M. Blank on football matters. Rich McKay remains the CEO of AMB Sports and Entertainment but will no longer be involved in day-to-day football operations. Morris brings 26 years of NFL experience and recently helped the Rams secure a Super Bowl title. His tenure officially begins as the head coach for the 2024 season. STORY 7: Kenneth Eugene Smith executed by nitrogen gas in Alabama for 1988 murder-for-hire scheme Kenneth Eugene Smith was executed in Alabama for the 1988 murder-for-hire of Elizabeth Sennett, marking the first-ever use of nitrogen gas for execution. The process began at 7:56 p.m., and Smith was pronounced dead at 8:25 p.m. He made a final statement through a mask, expressing love and peace. Smith's execution was initially halted in November 2022 due to a failed lethal injection attempt. The U.S. Supreme Court rejected appeals arguing that the nitrogen gas method violated the Eighth Amendment. Smith's role in the murder-for-hire was linked to the death of Elizabeth Sennett in 1988.   We'll have final thoughts after this.   Break 4: ESOG Signoff – Thanks again for hanging out with us on today's Gwinnett Daily Post podcast.

Local to the area where he'd eventually go to college, Marc-François Bradley felt it was a happy accident to land there and benefit from good experiences with hockey, friends, education and the opportunity to kindle a relationship with the woman who would eventually become his wife. But like the spirit of accepting what will come for college, he didn't launch into a career with a particularly pathway in mind. Instead, he said he set a few guardrails based on the guiding principles of seeking to make a difference and expecting good outcomes. He parlayed his computer science skills into various technology opportunities but when his first child was born very early and needed extensive care, a new path took shape, guided by his guardrails and new priorities.In this episode, find out from Mark how setting your guardrails sometimes provides all the structure you need…on Roads Taken with Leslie Jennings Rowley. About This Episode's GuestMarc-François Bradley is a digital healthcare strategist and manager with extensive experience in innovation, information technology, and development of strategic corporate relationships.

Originally from Australia, Laura, mama of 3, shares how all of her labours in Japan were faster than she could've expected. With her first, she had preterm labour contractions so was monitored regularly and given medications to put things on hold, but for her second, nothing could stop her son from being born premature. The traumatic experience was soon eased by the "top notch" care she was provided with at the NICU facility in Shin-Urayasu. She also shares with us how she got an episiotomy, dealt with her close pregnancies and postpartum depression while looking after two under 2's & recalls the effects that the 2011 earthquake had on her and her young family at the time. Her story is one of strength and courage.

Nursing is a vocation as old as humankind, once practiced by men and women. But for many the word “nurse” conjures up an image of Florence Nightingale or a woman in a starched white uniform and funny cap who defers to the doctor. In her new book, “Taking Care,”journalist Sarah DiGregorio challenges these myths: “If you imagine that nursing arose only in relatively recent times, as a profession dedicated to assisting physicians within hospitals,” writes DiGregorio, “you have it backward. Nursing came first.” Her book explores how chauvinism, racism, cultural norms and misogyny have inflected the profession and crucial role that nurses play in providing safe, caring and cutting edge medical care. We'll talk to DiGregorio about her book and hear from you: How have nurses affected your life?  Guests: Sarah DiGregorio , Journalist and Author, "Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World". DiGregorio is also the author of "Early: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What It Teaches Us About Being Human"

This week we talk about the story of nursing how it has shaped our world. Sarah DiGregorio is the critically acclaimed author of Early: An Intimate History of Premature Birth and What It Teaches Us About Being Human and Taking Care: The Story of Nursing and Its Power to Change Our World. She is a journalist who has written on health care and other topics for the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Slate and Insider, among others. She lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her daughter and husband.

Giving birth to a child is one of the most miraculous and momentous experiences of life. Even if you are the “unlucky” one in ten to give birth prematurely, you are still indeed very lucky and blessed. Every child’s journey will be full of ups and downs, and every small victory and milestone should be cherished and celebrated along the way. Babies bring love and joy to all homes, even the homes of preemie babies. I’d argue preemie babies bring even more love and celebration to their homes than full term babies.

Adam Wood is a veteran, author, and most importantly a father and husband. His son Brady was born at 25 weeks old and learned very abruptly how difficult it is to be a parent to a preemie baby. Through his experience, Adam decided to do something to help future parents of premature infants and wrote his first book, Our Preemie Adventure. He has since written several more books and is actively engaged in trying to help families overcome the challenges of the premature birth and the NICU. Adam shares his story in this episode and provides incredible perspective for parents. We really enjoyed having Adam on the podcast and are so thankful for his willingness to make a difference in the lives of others.

Scientists often study extreme cases to learn about the mechanics of a phenomenon. Many women found themselves running this kind of experiment in their own homes. How would the postpartum period--a time marked by isolation--feel when the whole world was isolating?In today's episode, author of the Upstairs House Julia Fine, reflects on her experience having her second child in the heart of the pandemic, and how the difference between a pre pandemic postpartum and a pandemic postpartum taught her something important about the period.  She shares some advice she wishes she'd received before she had kids and talks about how having language around some of the dramatic challenges we face as caregivers in those early months can change our experience of them. I also include insights from Dr. Patel, a former OB who now focuses on helping women in the postpartum period, on how to combat cultural expectations around motherhood in this period.For extended show notes, see the War Stories from the Womb website

I am a nurse practitioner and I am the primary care provider for a lot of the low risk maternity cases at the practice where I work. I also work hand in hand with the doctors and midwives to create a healthy maternity, birth, and postpartum situation. My fiancee is completing her residency. We live together and have for a few years now. We aren't in any hurry to get married. We originally had plans to do so a couple of years ago but then we got really busy for two years. It is driving my very religious parents crazy that their youngest son is living in sin. I don't really care. I'm an adult and I do what I want. We are getting married in June. So we are visiting my parents for Christmas. The way it came together this year everyone is at my parents house. So that's my folks, my three siblings, myself and fiancee, and seven grandchildren. So seventeen people. At dinner my mom starts going on about how she is so glad that we are finally getting married and she won't be embarrassed at church any more. And my dad says how proud he is of his three older kids who all either waited to get married before moving in together or got married right away after moving in together. My fiancee was getting embarrassed and I was getting mad over this stupid argument we have had too many times. And a family dinner was the last straw. I have asked them repeatedly to just accept that they cannot control how I live my life. I refuse to stay with them when I visit even if I come alone. Hotels are just easier. So I started talking about a premature baby I had been reading about. It was almost three months premature and weighed about 1.6 pounds. It was super strong and healthy for being born so little and the NICU had high hopes for the baby doing well. My mom and dad both got deer in the headlights looks on their faces. To bad. Should not have fucked around with my fiancee's feelings. So I asked about my oldest brother. He was born almost four months premature. Is there a chance that we could check out the family album where we keep all the records of family births and stuff. I already know my brother was over 9 pounds and almost 23" long when he was born. My grandmother told me all about it the first time my parents tried to shame me. The subject gets changed very fast. After supper my parents told me that I should not try to embarrass them with private things that are not my concern. I told them that if I heard anything about my living arrangements ever again for the rest of my life I would make sure to keep bringing up the FACT that my mom was in her second trimester when they got married. My parents are mad at me for telling them how to behave in their own home. But my fiancee is happy that they seem to be off the subject for good.

Today on The Natural Birth Podcast we have Tilly Tilly is a mama of 2 from the US. She is a holistic sex and intimacy coach for mamas seeking to embody their pleasure and have the best sex of their lives, or rediscover sex after birth. She is the host of The Multiorgasmic Mama Podcast that I've been a guest on, speaking about Conscious Conception. If you're curious about that then check out the link to the episode in the show notes. But today we are going to chat about Tillys very interesting birth stories. Tilly had her first as a young 22 year old studying to become a OBGYN. But after witnessing the over medicalization of birth she decided to have a free birth at home with her partner. She had a very empowering and precipitous birth at home in the dark. When she feel pregnant with her second she was planning a home birth with a midwife to have some female support at the birth altar. But at 34 weeks she ended up breaking her waters prematurely. She stayed home for 24hrs to see if labour would start naturally and then decided to go into hospital where she naturally induced herself with nipple stimulation through a breast pump. She then birthed her own way on all fours on the floor and stayed at the hospital doing kangaroo care for 10 days with her new born. All on her own terms. Curious about Tilly?
