Motherhood and voluntary childlessness in contemporary Christianity

Motherhood is often presented as a woman’s greatest achievement, both in Christianity and contemporary society.

At a time when birth rates in Western Europe are dropping and women have more control over their fertility, Dr Dawn Llewellyn explores how contemporary women negotiate, accept and resist this maternal expectation, and what this means for women in the twenty-first century.

What will you learn during this lecture?

⭐ How Christian women understand and determine their reproductive choices;

⭐ How they navigate the expectation to have children at a time when more women are choosing not to become mothers;

⭐ The taboos, stigma and silences faced by mothers and child-free women.

The lecture will be followed by a Q&A session during which you will have the opportunity to ask questions of the speaker via the Zoom Q&A function.

Accessibility: automatically generated subtitles will be available for this event.
