Icelandic midwives would be interested to participate. In Iceland, as in many other countries we are struggling with the use of concepts regarding birth. As we believe that the use of concepts/terms shapes the discourse about birth in the social context it is an urgent discussion that needs to take place within the academia and on a policy and practice level. It is difficult to define the main strenghts of midwifery if we are not able to define what is a normal pregnancy and birth.
All the best

I have contacts in Quebec where midwives certainly practice and promote normal birth but are only a small percent of maternity providers. I will be happy to liaise with my friend who is professor there as i'm sure she will be interested in promoting this initiative in Francophone Canada.
Best wishes,
Fiona
