Presentation at the SEEMS conference
2022.03.07.
The newly established Slavic and Eastern European Maternity Research Network (SEEMS), in collaboration with the Universities of Vilnius and Exeter, held its first conference on 28-29 January this year.
Ilona Kappanyos, a member of our research group, participated in the Medical and Social History section of the conference. In her presentation, entitled Instructors in Motherhood: The Visiting Nurse System in State Socialist Hungary, she presented the functioning of the visiting nurse network in state socialist Hungary and discussed how the professionalisation of the visiting nurse is related to the increasing awareness and control of motherhood and childcare by the state.
In the same session, Yulia Agapova and Anastasia Novkunskaya (University of St. Petersburg) spoke on the working conditions of Russian midwives, Ljiljana Pantovic (University of Belgrade) on informal rules in Serbian midwifery, and Jessica Lovett (University of Nottingham) on the methods of Soviet anti-Soviet anti-Semitic pronatalist propaganda.
