From Generation to Reproduction. (360G-Wellcome-088708_Z_09_Z)

£785,058

To reassess change and continuity in practices and meanings of 'generation' and 'reproduction', we will combine expertise in periods from antiquity to the present, and approaches from historical demography to history of science. Four teams will work in complementary research strands: 1. 'Patients and practitioners' will study the 'reproductive patient' to recover the wider patterns of intervention and concern. 2. 'Reproducing generations: conception and survival' will consider how matern al, fetal, infant and childhood health affected adult health and fertility, and the reproductive impact of sexual behaviour and venereal disease. 3. 'Representation and communication' will show how changing understandings of sex, development and evolution were produced, debated and used. 4. 'C20 transformations: technologies, experiences and regulation' will make a concerted attempt to account for the recent reproductive revolutions. Using research leave, research assistance and events, we w ill tackle the big questions, and produce high-quality publications (essay collections and single-authored books:Q14) and funding applications. An accessible, co-edited volume will provide a fresh vision for the whole field. We will continue to innovate in teaching and training, and expand a critical mass of expertise. We also propose enhanced public engagement, including 'The book of generation', a major exhibition at Cambridge University Library, and regular outreach activities (Q16).
