Multicultural Mothers Perceptions of Maternal Medical Care
by Kathleen McCoy |
Kimberly Fleming, anthropology major, had her research project approved for funding
by the Diverse Voices of Anchorage Project as a part of the Chancellors UAA as a Public
Square Fund. In 2004 there were 4,838 live births in Anchorage. More births are occurring
among women from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Research among mothers of various
cultural backgrounds residing in Anchorage will provide a better understanding of
how the pregnancy and birth expectations in their place of origin compare with the
birthing care and experiences they receive in Anchorage. Kerry Feldman, Anthropology
Professor, serves as her mentor. For more information contact afpaf@uaa.alaska.edu
