We welcome Sophie Scott, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and Director of the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience who will lead the seminar for the Autumn Term meeting of the UCL Women’s Liberation Special Interest Group. “In this talk I will outline some of the theories and studies behind the brain sex theory of differences between male and female brains.

Passing In: An audience with Miss Rosa Morison
Selections from a walking performance filmed in November 2018. Between 1883-1919 all intending female students at University College had to present a reference, in person, acceptable to the Lady Superintendent of Women Students – a process known as ‘passing in’. Kate Vigurs, a professional historical interpreter, takes on the role of Miss Rosa Morison, the first Lady Superintendent (1883-1912). In the film Rosa talks about her life and gives the audience a short tour of some of the spaces and places open to women at UCL before the First World War. The performance was inspired by archival sources in UCL Special Collections and was researched and written by Georgina Brewis (UCL Institute of Education), Nina Pearlman (UCL Culture) and Kate Vigurs.

2011 UCL Lancet Lecture by Prof Jayati Ghosh: Economic growth and women's health outcomes
Professor Jayati Ghosh (Jawaharlal Nehru University) delivered the 2011 UCL Lancet Lecture: 'Economic growth and women's health outcomes'. One of the most surprising features of the recent rapid income growth in emerging economies is how it has not been associated with significant improvements in women's health outcomes. Professor Ghosh uses indicators (such as the infant mortality rate, the maternal mortality rate and the child sex ratio) to explore the specific experience of India over the past two decades.
