Co-presented by Feminist & Gender Studies, Health Studies, and the Birth Justice Research Initiative

Abstract: Concerns about health misinformation are everywhere, and the law is regularly called upon to respond to these. Within these calls, health misinformation is often taken for granted as a stable category which can be easily identified. Drawing on examples from childbirth and reproductive health, this talk will unsettle that assumption and demonstrate the importance of taking a more critical approach to understanding contested health claims and practices.
Anna Nelson (she / her) is a feminist socio-legal researcher, with a particular interest childbirth. Her research often explores the way that law interacts with medical norms, and the impact this can have on consent, care and choice. She has a PhD in Bioethics & Medical Jurisprudence from…

The Reception and Pedagogy of Antiquity in Video Games,
How and where did you first encounter the ancient Mediterranean world? For most of us, it was through screened representations, usually film or television. Video games, however, are an increasingly important vector in the reception – and therefore teaching of – classical antiquity. The scholarship of gaming studies and classical antiquity has lagged behind that of film and television, but we have seen an explosion of scholarly titles in this decade. What does it mean when a student’s greatest contact with antiquity is through a video game?
