Bibliography
This is a brief bibliography initially developed by Inquiry听member Subhadra Das. Works听are listed in order of relevance and conciseness, so that听you may work down the list depending on what time you have.
As a starting point, 果冻影院 Special Collections contains a huge amount of material about Francis Galton, Karl Pearson and the early days of eugenics at 果冻影院.听
Please take care when accessing the resources below
These resources include content intended to offer a historical and critical analysis of the development and role of eugenics. However they contain often upsetting information about race, class, and disability. Please be aware that some writers do not always contextualise their work in ways that prepare the reader for descriptions of these ideas.
