Dear List Members,
I am a doctoral candidate in the final stages of writing a thesis on the
dynamics of racial exclusion in the re-emergence of midwifery in
Ontario, Canada - exploring the paradoxical fact that there are
thousands of immigrant midwives of colour in Ontario but very few have
succeeded in becoming registered practitioners. I am focusing on the
global dimensions of racial segmentation in the health care labor force
in Ontario and the ways that midwifery has participated in that process.
For a more detailed description please visit my web site; the URL is at
the bottom of this posting.
For many years prior to entering graduate school I was a certified
childbirth educator (ICEA and NCT), childbirth reform activist, and
director of a community college/hospital collaborative childbirth
educators training programme.

that."
