The "New Voices Online Talk Series" of the "Center for the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists" at Paderborn University starts on Wednesday, 19 March at 4 pm. The digital lecture series in the summer semester is dedicated to the topic of "Women's Ideas in the History of Medicine", i.e. the significant contributions of women to medical knowledge in history.
Irene Calà, research associate at the Institute of Ethics, History and Theory of Medicine at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t München, will kick off the series with a talk on "Aspasia and the Others: Women and Medicine in Late Antiquity".
The subject of the discussion in the online series is the influence of women on medical practice from late antiquity to the Renaissance and beyond. The lectures cover topics such as ancient gynaecology, early Islamic medical texts, the role of midwives and poetic representations of reproductive experiences and offer a comprehensive insight into the intersection of gender and the history of medicine.
Interested parties are cordially invited to register for the English-language event. The Zoom link will be sent after registration.
