Dear all,

Welcome tothis one-daywebinar on December 3:

Anniversary Symposium

The Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex – 150 years of
feminist engagement with sexual selection

It is now 150 years since Charles Darwin published the Descent of Man and
Selection in Relation to Sex, elaborating his theory of sexual selection
which aimed at explaining the evolution of extravagant male sexual
characteristics of for example peacocks. Ever since its publication,
feminists have engaged in sexual selection theory. First as external
commentators to science arguing for sexual selection as an emancipatory
alternative to god-given male supremacy in society, and later as critics
and agents of change within science. This interdisciplinary symposium
exhibits work by historians, philosophers of science and biologists on
feminist engagements in sexual selection from 1871 till today.

The Webinar takes place on December 3, 2021. Each talk takes 40 minutes
followed by 10 minutes discussion.

The lectures will be recorded and made available afterwards.

Participation is free of charge, register here:
