The AFIN 2026 Seminar Series is launching to reflect on the concept of risk in sexual and reproductive health. This in-person series includes eight seminars combining presentations by national and international researchers with discussion spaces for participants. Additionally, it features three training workshops specifically designed for PhD students from the UAB Department of Anthropology.
Throughout the series, current challenges regarding the concept of risk in various areas of sexual and reproductive health will be addressed, such as pregnancy, women’s reproductive age, digital intimacies, nutrition, communication about sexuality and reproduction with children and adolescents, and the production of fetal images.
The following lectures, accreditable as training activities for the PhD program in Anthropology, will take place at the UAB Department of Anthropology:
