Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood - Seminar 1: Pregnancy Seminar

Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood are amongst the experiences most central to human lives. In 3 online events, the University of Southampton Faculty of Arts and Humanities Advanced Seminar Series 2020 brings together scholars working on Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood, from across the arts and humanities and beyond.

​Sessions will include a panel discussion, followed by a short break, then speakers will respond to questions and comments from the audience. As the seminars will be recorded and made publicly available, we will ask participants to post written questions which will be read out by the Chair.

The seminars on Pregnancy and Birth will be part of the University of Southampton Human Worlds Festival 2020.

To join each seminar, follow the links below at the time when the seminar starts.

The first seminar focuses on Pregnancy. We will discuss topics ranging from health and wellbeing through and between pregnancies to how pregnancy challenges boundaries between the self and the other.
