Through ethnographic fieldwork in North India, Jyotirupa’s project investigates the way pregnant women and new mothers think of their relationship to their information, their expectations (or lack thereof) of privacy, and the relationship they share with the State’s health workers and NGO actors in the processes of the State’s data collection and welfare distribution.
