| Title | Dreams of Perfection: Eugenics, Ethics and Politics from the Nineteenth to the Twenty-First Century |
| Summary | This thesis seeks to trace the continuity of eugenic thought and attitudes throughout history. In doing so, it aims to intervene in the debate surrounding the return of eugenics where the history of eugenics is contested by opponents and advocates of modern eugenics. As a means of showing the uses and disuses of history for the purposes of this debate, it includes an attempt at writing a different history of eugenics, with a focus on its volatile nature. Finally, it concludes with evaluating what continuities can still be established and their implications. |
