Despite three decades of suppression, eugenics is by no means the dead “historical” movement it is often made out to be. On the contrary, the management of humanity’s future evolution continues to be a topic of keen interest across a broad range academic fields, and even in the popular press.
The following data were collected from May 21-23, 2005, using various data bases available to the University of Maryland. The list of bases is by no means exhaustive. What is sorely lacking is a data base of scholars and scientists publishing in the field.
