Abstract

Birth doulas provide non-medical intimate support to pregnant people and their families This support starts at the very foundation of life - breath Doulas remind, encourage and accompany people through labour by breathing with them However, the global COVID-19 pandemic has interrupted doulas' intimate work, and they are forced to navigate new restrictions surrounding birth practices Based on data collected from a qualitative survey of over five-hundred doulas as well as subsequent follow-up interviews with select doulas, we find intimacy at births disrupted and reshaped We suggest that an analysis of doulas provides a unique way to think through the complexities surrounding reproduction precisely due to doulas' ability to navigate intimate labour between and across boundaries

期刊介绍： Anthropology in Action (AIA) is a peer-reviewed journal publishing articles, commentaries, research reports, and book reviews in applied anthropology. Contributions reflect the use of anthropological training in policy- or practice-oriented work and foster the broader application of these approaches to practical problems. The journal provides a forum for debate and analysis for anthropologists working both inside and outside academia and aims to promote communication amongst practitioners, academics and students of anthropology in order to advance the cross-fertilisation of expertise and ideas. Recent themes and articles have included the anthropology of welfare, transferring anthropological skills to applied health research, design considerations in old-age living, museum-based anthropology education, cultural identities and British citizenship, feminism and anthropology, and international student and youth mobility.
