Since the late 20th century and the early 20th century, the presence of physicians in positions of power became more prominent as they sought to address social problems caused by industrialization. Hand in hand with positivism and statistics, along with the support of political authorities, doctors secured their place in the political spheres by appealing to their concern for solving the health problems of the community. It is within this framework that eugenics emerges alongside social medicine, hygiene, and other eugenic measures, aimed to improve the health of the population and, consequently, the national race. This link between politicians and doctors legitimized the intervention and regulation of individuals, as they appealed to a monopolized scientific capital. This research aims to review and analyze the Peruvian eugenic discourse based on the First and Second Peruvian Eugenics Conferences. Throughout this thesis, we aim to present and analyze the perspectives of the doctors and authorities present at these events to identify changes and continuities between them. The eugenics conferences showcased the global impact of eugenic ideas and proposed initiatives that were later materialized in decrees and institutions.
