CIRF’s 9th annual Interdisciplinary
Workshop on Reproduction will focus on the theme ‘Communicating
Reproduction’, with the aim of considering how reproduction is
constructed and communicated within academic institutions and broader
society. The workshop will explore this theme and promote contact and
exchange among researchers working on various aspects of reproduction in
different disciplines. The purpose of the workshop is to provide
opportunities for productive interdisciplinary discussion and
evaluation, and give speakers and audience members the opportunity to
make interdisciplinary research connections, to share ideas, and to
begin new collaborations.
Open to all, but places are limited. Please book online.
Fee include lunch, refreshments, and conference material.

Professor Simon Szreter (Cambridge University) , 'How much Venereal Disease was there in Georgian London? Can we estimate the population prevalence of STIs before the twentieth century?'
The venereal diseases feature strongly in Boswell's diary and consequently Georgian London has passed into literature and popular history as a byword for sexual licence. But is this at all justified as a general description of the capital and its population? Can we hope to know anything about the population prevalence of STIs in Britain before the twentieth century?
Simon Szreter presents new research undertaken in collaboration with Kevin Siena (author of Venereal Disease, Hospitals and the Urban Poor. London's Foul Wards 1600-1800)
The lecture will be chaired by Professor Kaye Wellings, LSHTM and the vote of thanks will be given by Professor Dame Anne Johnson, UCL.
