From the Breast Seminar Series

This hybrid in-person and online seminar series and workshop at the University of Birmingham explore pre-modern perspectives on breastfeeding and infant feeding. A seminar with two presentations will be held once a month online and in-person.

B﻿ased in interdisciplinary discussion and co-creation, this workshop will explore how modern understandings and relationships with breastfeeding can influence our understanding of breastfeeding in pre-modern cultures through a series of breakout rooms and panel discussions. How can our modern understanding and experiences with breastfeeding better inform our interpretation of pre-modern breastfeeding representations and practices? How has our modern relationship with breastfeeding potentially biased our understanding and interaction with pre-modern breastfeeding?Please note that in-person attendance is limited. So register soon! Lunch will be provided.
