The symposium will bring together two groups of researchers and experts: one group focused on the social determinants of health and nutrition in the earliest stages of the human life course (i.e., just before conception, through pregnancy, and through infancy) and the other group focused on measuring and visualizing body sensations and internal perceptions of bodily functions and experiences. There’s good reason to intuit that pregnancy alters these kinds of sensations and perceptions and that such sensations and perceptions alter pregnancy health, but we don’t yet know whether or to what extent that’s actually the case. So, please bring your perspective and expertise on one of these areas of inquiry and let’s move the conversation forward on how and why to test this intuition!
