Thank you to Caitlin Stobie, PhD Candidate from the English Department at Leeds University, for this guest post about a fascinating collaboration between historians and midwives. Check out the Facebook event for more details https://www.facebook.com/events/2112287712375964/
BEARING DIFFERENT RISKS: CHOICES IN CHILDBIRTH THROUGH HISTORY
How have ideas about childbirth changed over time? What makes birth risky? And who decides what is risky, anyway?
Visit the Leeds debut of this UK-wide mobile display exploring the past’s views on birth (and the risks we face today).
Discover histories of quintuplets, dangers at home and in hospital and a mysterious family of physicians who changed childbirth forever.
The exhibition runs from 15 June to 15 September 2018 at the Thackray Medical Museum. Later displays will be in Brighton and London.
Is it touring to the Midlands or west of England?
Hi Francesca,
Can you contact the organisers direct? It’s not an ARM event so we don’t have any other information I’m afraid. Hope you can make the exhibition, it sounds so interesting.
