Il lavoro di Sarah S. Richardson si muove tra le intricate intersezioni di scienza e società. La sua ricerca si concentra su come le scoperte scientifiche, in particolare nella biologia e nella genetica, modellano la nostra comprensione del genere e della sessualità. Richardson esplora l'evoluzione di questi concetti e il loro riflesso sia nell'indagine scientifica che nella vita quotidiana.
Lucy is average, awkward and unassuming. And, when it comes to sex, what she lacks in experience, she makes up for in curiosity. That's all set to change. On a night of rsts, she opens the door to a world of relationships and sex that she had only ever dreamt about. But, is the reality all she had hoped it would be? GirlPlay is an exploration of love and sex spun out in slam.
Leading gender and science scholar Sarah S. Richardson explores the history of the belief that a woman's health and behavior during pregnancy can significantly impact her descendants' long-term health and welfare. This idea, once a common folk intuition, has evolved dramatically since the early twentieth century. Initially, biomedical scientists dismissed the notion that a mother could influence her offspring’s traits, asserting that genetics and upbringing were the sole determinants of a child's fate. However, over the past fifty years, this consensus has been challenged, leading to a burgeoning field of research on the intrauterine environment and its effects on fetal development. Today, various disciplines, including medicine, public health, psychology, evolutionary biology, and genomics, support the notion that a woman’s experiences and physiology can profoundly affect her offspring. By tracing the evolution of ideas surrounding heredity and maternal-fetal effects, the author provides a critical analysis of the conceptual and ethical implications of epigenetics and fetal origins science, particularly concerning maternal well-being and reproductive autonomy in the context of contemporary postgenomic biology.
