She is currently working on two research projects. The first is a study of the Immorality (Amendment) Act (1950) that criminalized inter-racial sexual relationships between whites and other \u201craces\u201d in South Africa until 1985. This study aims to understand the methods the state utilized to police inter-racial sexual relationships, and the racialized and gendered impact on South Africans of arrest and public exposure for contravening the law. The second project is a transnational history of legalized eugenic abortion in British Commonwealth countries. Funded initially by the Wellcome Trust, this project explains the inclusion of a eugenic clause in the British Abortion Act (1967) and the uptake of that clause in subsequent abortion legislation enacted in Commonwealth jurisdictions. She received her PhD in History from Queen\u2019s University at Kingston in 1999 and is the recipient of numerous research awards.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/africanstudies\/wp-content\/uploads\/Public-Lecture-by-Prof-Susanne-Klausen.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Poster<\/a><br \/>\n\u2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"daevent-type":[],"event-audience":[],"event-featured":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Public Lecture by Prof Susanne Klausen - Events - Institute of African Studies<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"\u2018The Unexpected Horrible Side Effect of this Law\u2019: the criminalization of inter-racial sex and white male suicide in South Africa, 1950-1985.
