An exploration of why a social biology department was set up at LSE, the influence of and reaction to eugenic ideas through archive documents from the 1920s and 30s.

Curator Indy Bhullar and Learning Officer Debbie Challis will be on hand to explain the history of the documents, their context and hear thoughts on them.

This is part of Decolonising the LSE Week, which is organised by staff and students.
