K.C.B., C.M.G. 1 Medical Advisory Council Thomas Malthus has been described as the unwitting founder Chairman: The Lord Brain, D.M., F.R.C.P. of the birth control movement in Britain. I think he would have Prof. Sir Dugald Baird, M.D., F.R.C.O.G., B.SC., D.P.H. regarded this as a disgrace rather than a distinction. Although the Peter Bishop, Esq., D.M., F.R.C.P. thesis of his Essay published in 1796 was that population increases Prof. Sir Andrew M. Claye, M.D., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. faster than food production the only remedies he proposed were Mrs. Sylvia Dawkins, M.B., B.S. either complete celibacy or late marriage. These are indeed Donald Fraser, Esq., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. methods of controlling births and are probably responsible for the Dr. Annis Gillie, O.B.E., M.B., M.R.C.P. present low birthrate in Ireland, but they are certainly not included Prof. Douglas Hubble, M.D., F.R.C.P. in what we call birth control methods to-day. Ian M. Jackson, Esq., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. Prof. Sir Aubrey Lewis, M.D., F.R.C.P. Actually, Jeremy Bentham in 1797 advocated a sponge method Prof. Norman Morris, M.D., F.R.C.O.G. of birth control in order to reduce the poor rate. But the man who Prof. W. C. W. Nixon, M.D., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. did really start the fire was Francis Place, a self taught workman Sir John Peel, K.C.V.O., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. who became a friend of Thomas Wakley, a medical reformer who J. A. Fraser Roberts, Esq., M.D., D.SC., F.R.C.P. founded and for many years edited the LANCET. In 1822, Place Sir James Paterson Ross, BT., K.C.V.O., M.S., F.R.C.S. wrote and distributed handbills which gave definite contraceptive John A. Stallworthy, Esq., F.R.C.S., F.R.C.O.G. information. These had considerable circulation in London and John D. Sutherland, Esq., PH.D., M.B., CH.B., D.P.M. in the industrial districts of the North and owing to the discussion G. 1. M.

In 1868 Lord John Russell's son, Lord Amberley, was David Pyke, Esq., M.D., M.R.C.P. greatly criticised for taking part in a meeting on "over-population and public health" and in 1854 Dr. George Drysdale wrote "The General Secretary Elements of Science" in which he spoke of sex education, was Brigadier R.

Medical Secretary Bradlaugh, Besant and the Malthusian League Mrs. Eleanor Mears, M.B., CH.B. The event that really launched the ships, was the Bradlaugh- Deputy General Secretary Besant trial of 1877-8.

Title: John Humphrey Noyes, 1811-1840: A Social Biography APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITfEE: Ann Weikel Thomas D. Morris John Humphrey Noyes was the founder of the Oneida Community, one of the most successful utopian ventures in nineteenth-century America. Early in his life, Noyes was a deep religious thinker, but he founded Oneida as an ideal society based on extending the family unit, and not as a church. Noyes's social theories eventually overwhelmed his former religious concentration. 2 The purpose of this thesis is to locate in Noyes's religiously-oriented youth the sources of his social interests. Few scholars have studied in depth the childhood and young manhood of John Humphrey Noyes, but that is where the roots of his social theories are to be found.

Communal activism spread and flourished until the mid-1970s in many parts of the world. To analyse this global phenomenon, this thesis explores the similarities and differences between the commune movements of Denmark, UK and the US. By examining the motivations for the communal revival, links with 1960s radicalism, communes’ praxis and outward-facing activities, and the crisis within the commune movement and responses to it, this thesis places communal activism within the context of wider social movements for social change. Challenging existing interpretations which have understood the communal revival as an alternative living experiment to the nuclear family, or as a smaller part of the counter-culture, this thesis argues that the commune participants created varied and new experiments for a total revolution against the prevailing social order and its dominant values and institutions, including the patriarchal family and capitalism.

Noyes’ Mission Statement for the Oneida Community By Anthony Wonderley In February of 1848, the man about to found one of America’s most successful utopias composed a plan to bring Christ and social reform to upstate New York entitled Bible Argument: Defining the Relations of the Sexes in the Kingdom of Heaven. The communitarian venture envisioned by John Humphrey Noyes aimed to duplicate life in Christ’s kingdom — a place of communal ownership and group marriage — in order to bring that kingdom to earth. At the same time, the community’s unconventional sexual practices would transform society and correct its ills. As a prospectus for an intentional community, the Bible Argument contains “almost every important idea for the revision of relations between the sexes that Noyes would implement during the subsequent thirty years at Oneida.”1 It explains why the Oneida Community (1848-1880) was to come into being and what it is meant to accomplish. The Bible Argument also provides Noyes’ first public defense of the practice of group marriage initiated a short time before in Putney, Vermont, as well as his first substantive explanation of a free-love doctrine advocated a decade earlier.

The project studies the Gayborhood not just from an LGBT history view, but more crucially from the perspective of the history of the land on which it is located. It argues that the creation of a queer community in rural Tennessee is predicated on several waves of displacement of other groups from the land, through an ongoing process of settler colonialism and capitalist exploitation. The dissertation makes four main interventions in the field of Queer Studies: First, it provides a reading of the concept of “labor of belonging.” The Gayborhood is created through constant labor, which is for the most part unremunerated, and not always acknowledged. This labor creates a multifaceted belonging: people belonging to a community, land belonging to people, and people belonging to the land.

    History 1014 (12) McMahon Fall 2018 Hubbard Hall 11 TTh 8:30-9:55 am [email protected] Sills 209 Utopia: Intentional Communities in America, 1630-1997 This first-year seminar examines the evolution of utopian visions and utopian experiments in American history. It begins with John Winthrop’s 1630 vision of a “City upon a Hill,” explores the proliferation of both religious and secular communal ventures between 1780 and 1920, and concludes with an examination of 20th-century counter-culture communes, intentional communities, and dystopian separatists. Primary source readings include official statements of vision and purpose by a variety of charismatic leaders; personal accounts by members, both loyal and apostate; descriptions and evaluations by “informed” contemporaries; and utopian fiction. We will read scholarly analyses by historians to help us locate those documentary readings in their historical contexts. In combination, the readings, class discussions, and essay assignments introduce students to the sources and methods of historical inquiry and critical analysis, and provide opportunities for students to strengthen their writing skills. Course Requirements. The seminar consists of two class meetings each week. The reading assignments for each class should be completed by that class meeting. The History 1014 (12) Reading Guide on Blackboard provides questions to help focus your reading for the class discussions. The further readings (listed in the reading guide) are not required. Most of the reading assignments come from the essay collection and monographs assigned for the course. The rest of the assignments (journal articles and primary documents) are available either through e-reserve (use the Library Reserves link on Blackboard or the e-reserves link on the Reading Guide) or by link to an online source or Library database through the Reading Guide.
