The 2 linked fellowship aims are: 1) to establish a published & interdisciplinary research-based academic profile for myself through articles written to consolidate my PhD findings & published in high-impact journals; 2) to realise potential improved birth space design guidance by communicating the PhD's 12 practical recommendations in accessible media co-produced with Leeds-based stakeholders. My doctorate identifies a new interdisciplinary research agenda for birth space design grounded in women's social, sensory, physical & emotional experiences of birth. This fellowship has high impact potential for influencing the content & delivery of policy & design guidance. Current UK design tools, e.g. Better Birth Environment Audit Toolkit (Newburn & Singh, 2003a) & Health Building Note 09-02 (Department of Health, 2013) are now out of line with personalised & woman-centred care maternity policy programmes (Better Births (National Maternity Review, 2016). Midwifery researchers have so far led the birth environment research agenda (e.g. Fahy, Foureur & Hastie, 2008). This new agenda will facilitate labouring women's spatial agency within often complex healthcare buildings & challenge disciplinary assumptions about the birth environment made by midwives & healthcare architects. The doctorate aligns with woman-centred care principles & develops spatial insights into maternity policy goals (choice, control, continuity of carer & personalised care) & architectural design principles. The 12 practical design recommendations value childbearing women's diverse practices, across all types of birth venues & childbirth experiences. The findings show that when labouring women are free to use spaces as they choose, they employ strategies which allow them to simultaneously produce & consume space - the thesis calls this 'prosuming' & 'curating' space. Social aspects of birth spaces are strongly experienced by childbearing women who value their agency in deciding when they move between spaces. The thesis critiques the main UK design tools for maternity units - three core UK policy/design guidance documents (NCT Better Birth Environment Audit Toolkit, Department of Health Health-Building Note 09-02 & Better Births maternity policy document); & interprets twenty-four women's drawings & interview transcripts to identify childbearing women's spatial practices. I am ideally positioned to complete the ERSC postdoctoral fellowship as a well-established architectural & maternity practitioner with a successful doctorate completion on the architecture of birth spaces. The originality of the proposed activities - planned with interesting, interdisciplinary & impactful objectives - reflects my practitioner career context. On completion, the fellowship will establish me as an independent interdisciplinary researcher & birth spaces knowledge leader. It will bring benefits to the community who participated in the study, across the UK & internationally. I will publish 3 doctorate chapters & my findings in high-impact ranked interdisciplinary journals to establish a publishing track record. I will be hosted in the School of Sociology & Social Policy at Leeds University. Here, I will work with scholars who explore patient experiences of healthcare, evaluate innovative health technologies/services & disseminate work to a range of stakeholders (patients, clinicians & policy makers).World-class facilities in the Leeds' School of Civil Engineering & School of Media & Communication will provide facilities for me & Leeds-based stakeholders to co-produce 3D architectural models & accessible media from the PhD's recommendations. These will be shared with stakeholders, beneficiaries, academics & external organisations in the planned final fellowship showcase. I will use Leeds University & White Rose Doctoral Centre training to enhance my interdisciplinary research profile; & teach on the newly-formed interdisciplinary architectural engineering programme.

2个相关奖学金的目标是：1）通过撰写文章巩固我的博士研究成果并在高影响力期刊上发表，为自己建立一个已发表的跨学科研究学术形象; 2）通过与利兹利益相关者共同制作的无障碍媒体中传达博士的12项实用建议，实现潜在的改进出生空间设计指导。我的博士学位确定了一个新的跨学科的研究议程，出生空间设计的基础上妇女的社会，感官，身体和情感的经验出生。该奖学金具有很高的影响潜力，可以影响政策和设计指导的内容和交付。英国目前的设计工具，如《更好的生育环境审计工具包》（Newburn & Singh，2003年a）和《健康建设说明09-02》（卫生部，2013年），现在已经不符合个性化和以妇女为中心的护理产妇政策方案（《更好的生育》（国家产妇审查，2016年））。到目前为止，助产研究人员一直领导着出生环境研究议程（例如Fahy，Foureur & Hastie，2008）。这项新议程将促进劳动妇女在通常复杂的医疗保健建筑内的空间机构，并挑战助产士和医疗保健建筑师对分娩环境的学科假设。 博士学位与以女性为中心的护理原则保持一致，并对孕产妇政策目标（选择，控制，护理人员的连续性和个性化护理）和建筑设计原则进行了空间见解。12项实用设计建议重视育龄妇女在所有类型的分娩场所和分娩体验中的多样化做法。研究结果表明，当劳动妇女可以自由地使用空间，因为他们选择，他们采用的策略，使他们能够同时生产和消费的空间-论文称之为“prosuming”和“策展”空间。生育空间的社会方面对育龄妇女有着强烈的感受，她们重视自己在决定何时在不同空间之间移动方面的代理权。论文批评了英国的主要设计工具，产妇单位-三个核心的英国政策/设计指导文件（NCT更好的生育环境审计工具包，卫生部健康建设说明09-02和更好的生育生育政策文件），并解释了24名妇女的图纸和采访记录，以确定育龄妇女的空间做法。我非常有能力完成ERSC博士后奖学金，作为一个成熟的建筑和产妇从业者，成功完成了出生空间建筑的博士学位。拟议活动的原创性-计划有趣，跨学科和有影响力的目标-反映了我的从业者职业背景。完成后，奖学金将使我成为一名独立的跨学科研究人员和出生空间知识领导者。它将为参与研究的社区带来好处，在英国和国际上。我将在高影响力的跨学科期刊上发表3个博士学位章节和我的研究结果，以建立出版记录。我将在利兹大学社会学与社会政策学院接受招待。在这里，我将与学者谁探索医疗保健的病人的经验，评估创新的健康技术/服务和传播工作的一系列利益相关者（患者，利兹土木工程学院和媒体与传播学院的世界级设施将为我和利兹的利益相关者提供设施，共同制作3D建筑模型和从博士的建议无障碍媒体。这些将在计划的最终奖学金展示中与利益相关者，受益者，学者和外部组织分享。我将利用利兹大学和白色玫瑰博士中心的培训，以提高我的跨学科研究概况;并在新成立的跨学科建筑工程计划任教。
