This course offers an introduction to a vast field of historical and sociological research at the intersection of gender, medicine, and science in modern Europe. We explore the gendered nature of the three interrelated realms of medical and scientific knowledge production, practices, and technologies. Special attention is paid to the personal experience of health and illness.
The course aims at developing a critical understanding of apparently obvious/natural concepts (such as biological and sexual difference, different bodily functions and processes), and the extent to which seemingly pre-social biological entities/ concepts are in fact socially framed, mediated, experienced and regulated.

After an introduction to the core concepts of the historiography of the field and a discussion of central tenets of feminist epistemologies of science, the course covers a wide range of topics through fascinating case studies. These focus on themes including: - interpretations of women and men’s assumed nature/biology (sexuality, fertility and reproduction); - the social construction of sexual difference (in areas of reproductive biology and anatomy in the 18th -20th centuries); - the gendered and value-laden medical practices of surgery and gynaecology; - the gendered forms of madness (hysteria, puerperal insanity, and shell shock); - the invasion of the female body through modern reproductive technologies; - bodily and sexual transformation (reconstructive and aesthetic surgery) and bodily enhancement. - the patient’s shifting position in 20th century medical encounters (health social movements: breast cancer and the HIV/AIDS movements) - the personal experience of health/illness and medical intervention - racial, class and gender aspects of contemporary cosmetic surgery - the culturally embedded nature of certain gendered pathologies (such as anorexia and bulimia) demonstrated through careful sociological analysis and with the means of cultural studies

As evident from the Course Overview, the studied field proves to be exceptionally interdisciplinary. The course therefore provides a unique possibility for students to engage with different research methodologies and analytical tools that characterize the diverse disciplinary fields of women’s and gender studies, science studies, feminist epistemology, history of science, sociology of scientific knowledge, etc., and to compare the distinct characteristics of microhistorical analysis, intellectual history, and sociological, cultural, anthropological/ ethnographic approaches. Readings also provide insights into the critical use of diverse sources, ranging from social historical through literary and scientific to personal ones.
