The Legacy of Eugenics in Scandinavia - new version
Organised by UCL Scandinavian Studies, this seminar on the Legacy of Eugenics in Scandinavia is part of the Nordic Indigeneity in Conversation seminar series (2020-21). Chaired by Prof. Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen. Speakers include the Swedish writer and filmmaker Maja Hagerman, Finnish Tornedalian Historian Curt Persson and Sami artist Katarina Pirak Sikku. Panel is part of 'From Small Beginnings...: Addressing the continuing shadows of eugenics' series of events across the world leading up to marking 100 years since the Second International Eugenics Congress held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The series offers and opportunity to focus on how eugenics has been used and misused over the past century but still more importantly to critically assess how the intellectual inertia of eugenic habits of mind continue to globally influence political, social and medical ideas, in addition to practices and policies.
