The UCL Institute for Global Health's (IGH’s) 15th symposium, 'The Pleasures of the Bed: Jeremy Bentham on Sex, Population & Happiness'
View here
Professor Philip Schofield and Dr Michael Quinn (UCL
Bentham Project) explore Bentham's changing views on population growth,
and how he influenced the discourse on population in the 1820s, as well
as Bentham's work on sex, at the UCL Institute for Global Health
symposium in June 2010.
Professor Judith Stephenson (UCL Institute for Women's Health) emphasises how Bentham's views have resonance for us now because of current concerns about global population, reproductive rights and stigma around 'unnatural' practices. Using homosexuality to reduce population is explored further by Dr Richard Mole (UCL School of Slavonic & East European Studies), who also emphasises the role of religion on attitudes towards homosexuality.
