Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Sara introduces the concept of figured worlds. Figured worlds are the simplified mental perceptions we have of the way things typically work. In birth, common figured worlds hold many families back from having empowered, active birth experiences.   REFERENCES: Gee, James Paul. How to do discourse analysis: A toolkit. Routledge, 2014.
