Eugenics@UCL: In the #GaltonLectureTheatre
A video summary of the revelatory exploration of Francis Galton’s ‘Eugenics Record Office’ at UCL 110 years to the day when Galton wrote to Sir Arthur Rücker (Principal of the University of London) with an offer to fund academic research into National Eugenics. In this first of three conversations in #UCLfacesRACE, speakers and the audience were invited to consider how we evaluate the historical memory and, indeed, silence in order to address the challenges of the research constructing unjust racial hierarchies and its legacy in a lecture theatre named after Francis Galton himself.
