Jennifer C. Nash

Jean Fox O'Barr Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at Duke University

‘In the Room’:
Women of Color Doulas in a State of Emergency

"In the Room” explores the work of women of color doulas laboring in Chicago in an era where doulas are increasingly hailed—by the state and by activists—as precisely the innovation that can save black mothers’ lives. Dr. Nash explores the complicated tensions around professionalization and the medicalization of birth that underpins their practice, and considers the place of their work in the ongoing effort to eradicate black infant and maternal mortality.
