  • Start: Wed, 08 Apr 2015 09:30:00 BST

This two-day symposium brings together historians of enslaved women researching motherhood, the care of children, and childlessness with other historians who have explored these issues within non-slave societies. To facilitate in-depth comparison, particular attention will be paid to the history of breastfeeding and wetnursing in slave and non-slave societies.
