Listen Later

Dr. Adrienne Strong is a medical anthropologist whose research is primarily based in Tanzania, concentrating on maternal mortality, nursing, hospital ethnography, and theories of care. She is the author of the 2020 book Documenting Death: Maternal Mortality and the Ethics of Care in Tanzania. Dr Strong shares her unorthodox birth story, the importance of self-advocating and what we can learn from birth practices in developing countries.

Dr. Adrienne Shares:

  1. The extent to which women in lower resource settings still struggle to get adequate care during pregnancy and birth
  • How Adrienne’s experience in Tanzania has shaped her perspective on her own pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding journey, and approach to parenting a 9 month old
  • How she got into this work as a medical anthropologist
  • What we can learn from other cultures in terms of improving birth culture in North America and other western countries
