Really enjoyed working with Channel Talent to put on an online A-level German lesson on the Dark Sides of Unification, using “blues in schwarz weiss” by May Ayim to think through some of the links between then and now.

Do you teach/research gender/sexuality w/ German sources? Have you had access issues or needed to translate sources yourself bc English versions don’t exist? Fill in this survey (by 2/15) to identify core texts for an anthology of translations in scientific & literary sexology between 1890 & 1930.

Getting started on my New Year’s Resolution to be (more) active here by saying that @helencfinch.bsky.social gave such a brilliant paper and has made me want to revive an old project that I got stuck on years ago… A really powerful talk to commemorate #HMD2026
