How might we address issues in maternal health with some of the same creative problem-solving tools used by designers? How are communities coming together to rethink maternity from an equity perspective? Join us for a conversation about labor, health, and ways design tools can help us reimagine the future of motherhood.
Presenters include Michelle Millar Fisher (coauthor and curator of Designing Motherhood: A Century of Making (and Unmaking) Babies), Amber Winick (design historian and writer), Aly Folin (she/her, owner and midwife at North Star Midwifery), Gabriella A. Nelson (associate director of Policy for the Maternity Care Coalition), Whitney Robinson (member of Make the Breast Pump Not Suck and founder of The Renée), and Alex Steinman (cofounder and CEO of The Coven).

“Many social barriers to breastfeeding exist in the United States, a country without universal health care or a standardized family leave policy. In addition, US maternal mortality rates are on the rise. These obstacles and outcomes disproportionately affect minority groups.” —Michelle Millar Fisher, Designs for Different Futures catalogue, 2019.
