Time Travels - Contraception Clinics and Statue Smashers
Download Contraception Clinics and Statue Smashers
It took more than chutzpah to open a contraceptive clinic in 1920s Aberdeen. Family planning pioneer, Fenella Paton had money, connections and courage. Dr Alison McCall shows us why the clinic was needed and how it made a difference.
Dr Christine Whyte of Glasgow University takes us far out to sea where terrified children were rescued from enslavers, but what happened to them next? Humanitarian intervention can be a tricky subject.
Statue smashing - a favourite intervention of the 16th century Scottish Reformers who also liked to burn artworks and chop them up - but what did people feel about that at the time, and what did the authorities mean to do about it? Dr Bess Rhodes of St Andrews University takes us to a pivotal moment for the Scottish Reformation.
