| Summary: | This case looks at emerging birthing cultures in public health resource poor countries like India to indicate the ways in which ethnographic research and the researcher become enmeshed in public health advocacy around reproductive rights. In focus is research from the field of commercial surrogacy and professional midwifery wherein the researchers' engagements in the field has often led to demands for their active intervention. In case of surrogacy, this may include a call for fighting against the ban on commercial surrogacy, and in case of professional midwifery, it may be linked to championing natural birthing. The case suggests navigating demands for action research within an otherwise "neutral" ethnography. |
