| This CFP seeks papers for a panel on reproduction and genetics/eugenics for the Western Association of Women Historians 2013 conference. The conference will be held at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon, on May 16-18, 2013. My paper examines how genetic counseling clients in the mid-twentieth century United States (primarily women) shaped the developing field of genetic counseling to explore the assumptions and expectations that influenced the ways parents and counselors approached decisions about reproduction. Please send a 250-500 word abstract and one- to two-page CV at your earliest convenience to Adam Turner, act@uoregon.edu |
