Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood are amongst the experiences most central to human lives. In three online events, the University of Southampton Faculty of Arts and Humanities Advanced Seminar Series 2020 brings together scholars working on Pregnancy, Birth and Motherhood from across the arts and humanities and beyond.

Join Professor Fiona Woollard, Philosophy at the University of Southampton, for this first seminar on Pregnancy. Topics discussed will range from health and wellbeing through and between pregnancies to how pregnancies challenges boundaries between the self and the other.
