Poetic Inquiry into Narratives of Obstetric Violence in Canada

octobre 1 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Arts-based research has a unique way of presenting sensitive experiences. In this talk, Dr. Kaveri Mayra will focus on 2741 people’s narratives about their embodied experience of labour and birth, and the trauma and violence within those experiences, using poetic enquiry. Through a series of poems and artistic illustrations, this presentation seeks to engage with and understand participants’ narratives of obstetric violence and respectful person-centred care.

About the Speaker:

Dr. Kaveri Mayra is a midwifery, nursing and global health researcher from India with a PhD in Global Health from the University of Southampton, UK, where she explored the experiences and determinants of obstetric violence in India through an arts-based method called ‘birth mapping’. Dr. Mayra is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Birth Place Lab, and the recipient of a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research (MSFHR). She has extensive research experience on nursing and midwifery workforce policies, regulation and practice; sexual, reproductive and maternal health care and the underlying gender-based challenges.

Dr. Mayra is has delivered guest lectures in universities and at conferences around the world on obstetric violence; orgasm equality, nursing and midwifery governance, the inequities, sexism and discriminations in health policy-making; and has been recognized as one of the 100 outstanding global midwife and nurse leaders by Women in Global Health (WGH), WHO, ICN, ICM, Nursing Now and UNFPA to mark the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife 2020. She was recently featured as Frontiers women in STEM.

Dr. Mayra currently serves on the board on Human Rights in Childbirth (HRIC), White Ribbon Alliance UK and Academy for Nursing Studies and Women’s Empowerment Research Studies. She is an Academic Editor with PLOS Global Public Health and was a consultant for the WHO Academy on Essential Respectful Care Course. When she is not doing all the above, she is dancing.
