Find the Midwife – Project Launch Event
April 9 at 12:00 am until 1:00 pm
What happens when midwives in the US and UK collaborate with a historian and documentary filmmakers?
Learn about how the history of midwifery is connected to our current maternal health crisis. Find the Midwife is a documentary project funded by the Johns Hopkins University Discovery Awards which provides grants to faculty to fuel cross-divisional research and/or creative works. The team includes US midwife Noelene K. Jeffers, CNM, PhD at the School of Nursing, UK midwife Sally Pezaro, RM, PhD (Coventry University), historian Mary Fissell, PhD ( School of Medicine), and filmmakers Annette Porter and Bernadette Wegenstein, PhD (Krieger School of Arts and Sciences).
