Hello Bluesky! I’m a historian of sexuality, currently working with @drannehanley.bsky.social on the history of #sexualhealth in Britain, 1918-1980. Finally left the hellsite, and looking forward to (re)connecting with people on here!

Thank you!

Looking for recommendations for memoirs that deal with health and gender (and/or sexuality, disability) that have come out in last couple of years. Updating my masters class syllabus (session/assessment on health narratives) so please let me know if you’ve read a good one recently! #histmed #medhums

Thanks for putting this together! Please could I be included? I'm a historian working on sexual and reproductive health.

Hello to everyone on these sunlit uplands! 👋🏼 I'm a historian working on sexual and #repro health, modern Britain and the medical humanities. Supported by a @ukri.org Future Leaders Fellowship, my team are running a 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 inclusive project on #sexualhealth in the twentieth century. #medhums

Thank you!

Thanks for creating this starter pack, Kate! Please could I be added? This is a big part of the work Claire Martin and I are doing on ‘Histories of Sexual Health in Britain’. Not sure Claire is on bsky yet.
