Women, Health and Welfare
Women’s History Network Southern Region Study Day
Saturday 17 March 2012
Centre for the Hsitorical Record, Kingston University London
Come and celebrate St Patrick’s Day at the Women’s History Network Southern Region Spring Study Day!
Sessions, spanning the early modern, Victorian and modern eras, in Ireland, England and Italy, include:
• women and mental health
• women and reproductive health
• women as health care practitioners
• women and welfare
Our key speaker will be Lesley Hall from the Wellcome Library, who will lead a discussion on how archives can contribute to the debate, challenging the audience to be more imaginative and inquisitive in their use of these resources.
Women’s health and women’s participation in healthcare has always been a source of fascination and their involvement in welfare issues, whether as policy makers or consumers, is headline news today. This conference will discuss what we can learn about women’s connection to health and welfare from history and how that might influence our interpretation of current issues.
The conference will be hosted at Kingston University’s Penrhyn Rd campus and run from 9.30am-5pm. Lunch, tea and coffee will be included in the conference fee of £15. (Registration is free for students and the unwaged).
