The Gender Forums Launch event
The Gender Forums are a series of events whose aim is to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and networks around the study of women, gender, and sexuality. Each event is organised as a conversation between scholars from across and beyond HSS, including PhD students, ECRs and Global Professorial Fellows.
The first event of the series will focus on Reproductive Health Care across Time and will bring together Caitlin Williams (School of History) and Sydney Calkin (School of Geography, Associate IHSS Fellow ). Caitlin Williams has recently graduated from QMUL with a thesis on "Medicine and the Gentry Woman: Care and Wellbeing in Late Medieval English Households" and Dr Sydney Calkin works on the intersection of gender, political geography and reproductive technology and has recently published Abortion Pills Go Global: Reproductive Freedom Across Borders (University of California Press, October 2023).
Their conversation will be chaired by Dr Jane Freeland (School of History, IHSS Fellow), who is currently developing a new project on reproductive rights and the movement of women across borders to access abortion.
Everybody is welcome and lunch will be provided!
Next event: 10 December 2024, Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Violence against Women
