DESCRIPTION:"Blood is messy\, dangerous\, and charged with meaning. By fol
 lowing it as it circulates through people and institutions\, Jenny Bangham
  explores the intimate connections between the early infrastructures of bl
 ood transfusion and the development of human genetics. Focusing on mid-twe
 ntieth-century Britain\, Blood Relations connects histories of eugenics to
  the local politics of giving blood\, showing how the exchange of blood ca
 rved out networks that made human populations into objects of medical surv
 eillance and scientific research. Bangham reveals how biology was transfor
 med by two world wars\, how scientists have worked to define racial catego
 ries\, and how the practices and rhetoric of public health made genetics i
 nto a human science. Today\, genetics is a powerful authority on human hea
 lth and identity\, and Blood Relations helps us understand how this author
 ity was achieved."\nSpeakers:\nDr Jenny Bangham (Queen Mary University of 
 London)
