DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE
** Second Cambridge Wellcome Lecture in the History of Medicine **
On Thursday 23 November 2006
Hilary Marland (University of Warwick)
will speak on
'Doctors, motherhood and insanity of childbirth in Victorian Britain'.
The lecture, which doubles as the last Departmental seminar of Michaelmas
Term, will start at 4.30 p.m. in Seminar Room 2. There will be tea from
4.00 in Seminar Room 1, and a drinks reception there at 6.00. The reading
is 'Languages and landscapes of emotion: motherhood and puerperal insanity
in the nineteenth century', in Fay Bound Alberti (ed.), Medicine, emotion
and disease, 1700-1950 (Palgrave, 2006), pp. 53-78, but this public lecture
will be intelligible without it.
At a workshop to be held the same day at 11.30 a.m. in Seminar Room 1
Professor Marland will introduce a discussion of a work-in-progress paper
on 'Future mothers of the Empire? Representations of girls' health,
1890-1930', which is available in the Whipple Library. In this case, it
will be important to have studied this (short) piece in advance.
If you would like to join us for a pay-as-you-go dinner at 7.15 p.m.,
probably at the Ugly Duckling on St John's Street, please email Nick
Hopwood ([log in to unmask]) by Monday November 20.
Supported by the Wellcome Trust.
All welcome!
