Gestation - IMCI Speaker Series: Gestation and Storytelling

The Institute for Media and Creative Industries (IMCI) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) at Loughborough University are pleased to present a Speaker Series on Gestation and Storytelling. During this great round of conversations, three great women share their experience about how stories about gestation, reproduction, birth, and parenting are transmitted through generations and communities, framing the way people deal with carrying and caring life. They also discuss how mainstream channels (media, health systems, government, NGOs etc) proliferate stories about gestation that help (or not) the situation in the community level. Our speakers are IAS Visiting Fellows Ms Mpume Gumede from South Africa, Dr Lindsay Barnes from India, and Dr Åsa Virdi Kroik from Sweden.
