Eugenics is a coercive ideology with a destructive history over the course of the 19th and 20th Centuries. But did support for eugenics die out after the Second World War?

Unpacking the movement and its roots in academia, Rebecca Sear FBA explores the question of whether we are witnessing a resurgence in eugenics today.

Speaker: Rebecca Sear FBA, Professor and Director of the Centre for Culture and Evolution at Brunel University
