An exploration of "scientific motherhood" from the perspective of the everyday lives of women focuses on the negotiated meanings/uses of the discourse that forms women's relations to scientific authority. Emphasis is on negating the attitude toward science that implies women's victimization by medical discourse, as well as the notion that women accept the premise of medicine on its own terms. Rather, it is argued that scientific motherhood is a contradictory discourse shaped by relations of inequality. Data are drawn from an analysis of 38 lengthy interviews with African American & Jewish women who raised their children in the 1930s-1940s, presented in Medicalized Motherhood: Views from the Lives of African American and Jewish Women. The narratives reveal struggles between old & new practices, & disagreements about techniques for rearing healthy children that are structured by larger conflicts between social groups over status, boundaries, & acceptability. It is argued that women initiated medical discourse as a way to create motherhood within ethnoracial & class boundaries. Numerous quotations from the narratives are included. 29 References. J.

The impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on social work practice placements around the world and in the United Arab Emirates is of concern to students, social work educators and service users. In this practice note, I focus on the impact of the interruption to social work practice learning for students at the United Arab Emirates University and reflect on the introduction of 'social distancing', a health and safety strategy aimed at reducing the likelihood of the spread of the coronavirus. I propose ways in which students in school placements can continue to develop their social work knowledge and skills 'from a distance' and while physically absent from their practice learning settings
