" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_2"><![endif]>This
talk examines the establishment of the birth control project in Uganda by American physician and eugenicist Clarence Gamble as a biomedical endeavour driven by global concerns about the reproductive capacities of Ugandan women and global overpopulation. It
shows how these concerns clashed with local anxieties about demographic changes, social and political reproduction, and medical ethics. The talk examines the birth control project in Uganda as a form of reproductive exploitation of women. Dr Kembabazi argues
that Gamble’s experimentation on women, and refusal to engage the public and their detractors, legitimized the concerns of pronatalist groups who tapped into a global racialized rhetoric that birth control would exterminate the Black race.<o:p></o:p></p>
