***Reproduction and the Sciences in Cambridge***
Registration is now open for this workshop to be held in the Bryan
Matthews Room, Department of Physiology, Development and Neuroscience,
University of Cambridge, on 8 April 2011
Cambridge was perhaps the major European centre of innovation in
research on reproduction in the twentieth century. The concentration in
one city of University and other institutions with different missions
and disciplinary affiliations appears to have been especially
productive. Focusing on Cambridge also provides an opportunity to
explore the engagements of the sciences with reproduction across an
unusually broad range, from animal breeding and eugenics through
embryology and genetics to psychoanalysis, without prejudging the
changing identity of what might be considered 'reproductive sciences'.
This informal workshop aims to explore what historical research is
already underway and to identify important questions and gaps. Each
speaker will give a 15-minute presentation with 15 minutes for discussion.
