Wingspread Oral History Project
The 1991 Wingspread Conference on Chemically-Induced Alterations in Sexual Development: The Wildlife/Human Connection served as a meeting ground for the interdisciplinary group of researchers that would later form the backbone of the environmental endocrine-disruptor community, providing a platform for reimagining both chemical regulatory policy and environmental harm and human disease as an integrated ecological system. The project consists of a comprehensive oral history of the 20 signatories of the 1991 Wingspread Consensus Statement to reflect on how this field came into existence, the role the conference played in galvanizing the group’s identity, and the direction research has taken since.
