Birthing Justice/ Birth Injustice

Catalog description

This course explores how Birthing Justice is both an analytic framework and a social movement within the US. By focusing on the intersectional nature of oppression, students will learn how and why racial disparities in maternal health persist in the US. Lastly, and most importantly, the lives and voices of women of color who both advocate for Birthing Justice and who also experience Birth Injustice will be central to the course.
