40th Annual Jefferson B. Fordham Debate - Institutional Neutrality and Other Academic Freedom Controversies

The Gordon B. Hinckley Lecture in British Studies
The Fate of the Foundling, or, being undocumented in Twentieth-century Britain
by Nadja Durbach, Professor
Co-Editor, Journal of British Studies
Department of History, College of Humanities
University of Utah
A cultural and social historian of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain, Professor Durbach's research focuses on the history of the body and its relationship to the state, the nation, and the empire. She is currently working on a book entitled Registration Nation: Identity, Privacy, and the Recording of Persons in Modern Britain. This project explores how the British state’s attempts to register different populations opened up a range of contentious questions about race, sex, class, legal status, personhood, health, ability, freedom, citizenship, and ultimately the relationship among the individual, the family, the state, the nation, and the empire.
