UBC peoples: if anyone is interested in free books, DM me and we can arrange a time for you to browse. Because of space issues I have to downsize my office library. Primarily 18th-21st century literature, philosophy, literary history/theory. Much of it in German but also in English and French.

Last Thursday, I had the joy of attending this great workshop in Cologne. I really believe that queer history needs interdisciplinary inputs and it's always a joy to meet-up with other scholars and discuss sources and methodologies. Here's a small thread about the papers we discussed: 1/11

It is out! @jonahgarde.bsky.social's magnificent and field-defining book. A good way to support this fab project and amazing scholar is to acquire the book for your personal or institutional library. You'll notice it is also available open access. www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-8376-7...

With support from the Sarajevo Open Centre, a group of scholars co-wrote what will be a major contribution to the history of sexuality: a history of queer lives in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The book is open access and more info can be found on the centre website. ❤️🌈 soc.ba/historija-kv...

evo stigao sam do zadnjeg poglalja. Još par sedmica rada i cijela kjiga je izpisana. "Tetka Theory" je na engleskom jeziku, ali sada mi se čini da je to sve trebalo da bude na našem ...

I had the pleasure to listen to these two wonderful humans talk in NYC about what is in essence now my fave queer studies book. Highly recommend. Bring tissues.

so many wonderful people in one place; such as wonderful topic. Not to be missed if you are in Berlin blogs.hu-berlin.de/todo/events/...

will be in Chicago next week and going to go check this out. If any of you have been I'd love to hear what you thought. I'm divested from the framework of "invention of sexuality" or firsts whatever, but kind of astonished that these works will be in one place! wrightwood659.org/exhibitions/...

My comrade Lauren just published this excellent book. Queer/German studies peoples would be particularly interested in what she has to say. As would international 19th-century studies scholars. Check out the description. www.fordhampress.com/978153151051...

My comrade @katielmsutton.bsky.social's book on the masculine woman in Weimar Germany is one of the standard texts in queer Weimar studies. That the Naval Academy banned it along with dozens of other texts is devastating. + www.berghahnbooks.com/title/Sutton...
