Join us for the second webinar in our research showcase series, exploring how literature shapes ethical, legal, and social discussions on reproductive technologies. This session will highlight key insights from the Future of Human Reproduction Wellcome Discovery Award project.

The Future of Human Reproduction Wellcome Discovery Award has been an exciting interdisciplinary journey, bringing together insights from literature, language, psychology, design, law, and ethics to explore the challenges and opportunities in the rapidly evolving field of reproductive technologies.

In our second research showcase webinar, Professor Sharon Ruston and Dr. Georgia Walton will share key insights into the project’s work and highlight why literature has been central to its research approach. The conversation will cover:

– What they’ve been working on
– Why and how literature has been valuable to the project
– The unique expertise and perspectives that literary scholars bring
– Lessons learned along the way

There you can learn about the key role literature has played in framing complex issues and engaging different narratives throughout the project, helping to ensure that discussions about reproductive technology are both inclusive and well-informed.
