CRASSH

This year CIRF organised the fourth of the successful series of Interdisciplinary Workshops on Reproduction, hosted by CRASSH. The aim of these workshops has been to introduce and encourage communication and collaboration between graduate and faculty researchers in Cambridge with interests in reproduction.  Attended by 41 participants, the workshop offered a range of academics from various departments (including HPS, Social Anthropology, Centre for Family Research, Social and Developmental Psychology, Geography, Physiology, Development and Neuroscience and Philosophy), an opportunity to present 20-minute papers on their own ‘reproduction-themed’ research. Overall, the papers were of excellent quality, the discussions generated were very interesting. Speakers felt that the experience of presenting work to an interdisciplinary audience was very useful, as it forced them to communicate their research objectives clearly and explicitly and elicited some novel and poignant responses.
