NOTCHES: (re)marks on the history of sexuality (Web)

NOTCHES is a peer-reviewed, collaborative and international history of sexuality blog that aims to get people inside and outside the academy thinking about sexuality in the past and in the present. NOTCHES is sponsored by the Raphael Samuel History Centre (London) (Web).

The goal is to create a collaborative and open-access blog that is intellectually rigorous and accessible, historical and timely, political and playful.

NOTCHES engages with histories of sexuality across all regions, periods, and themes. Posts are only limited by the interests and specializations of our contributors, who explore topics as varied as human sexual experience. NOTCHES is likewise strengthened by the diversity of our contributors, who come to the blog from a range of professional and personal backgrounds. Read more … (Web)

Nursing Clio (Blog)

Via Website: „Nursing Clio is an open access, peer-reviewed, collaborative blog project that ties historical scholarship to present-day issues related to gender and medicine. Bodies, reproductive rights, and health care are often at the center of social, cultural, and political debates. We believe the issues that dominate today’s headlines and affect our daily lives reach far back into the past — that the personal is historical.

The mission of Nursing Clio is to provide a platform for historians, health care workers, community activists, students, and the public at large to engage in socio-political and cultural critiques of this ongoing and historical dialogue regarding the gendered body, the history of medicine, popular culture, current events, and other issues that catch our attention. Nursing Clio provides a coherent, intelligent, informative, and fun historical source for the consideration of these topics.“ Read more … (Blog)

The topics in the blog are such as „History“, „Feminism“, „Adventures in the Archives“ etc. (Blog)
