Happy #InternationalWomensDay! 👩‍🔬💜

Working on my forthcoming book, finding out about English suffragist and naturalist Lydia Ernestine Becker was a revelation. In 1869, she made an inclusive, science-based case for women's rights. Just awesome! 🤩

Happy #ValentinesDay! 🐌❤️🐌

Delightful, if fanciful, depiction of garden snails exchanging love darts. By English artist Frederick Polydore Nodder and published in the Naturalist’s Miscellany in 1790. [The darts don’t propel through the air as the image depicts but are fired on contact.]

Btw, my gorgeous cover star is a gynandromorph gypsy moth, female on its left side, male on the right. It was caught in Berlin in July 1864 and pictured by German entomologist Ernst Ludwig Taschenberg in 1877. It makes more than one appearance in my book!

Sexualwissenschaft am Ende des sexuellen Zeitalters.
Zur Wirkungsgeschichte der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Sexualforschung (Psychosozial-Verlag, 2025) https://psychosozial-verlag.de/programm/2000/2500/3460-detail #histsex
Johannes Fuß, Richard Kühl (Hg.): Sexualwissenschaft am Ende des sexuellen Zeitalters

Der Band umfasst historiografische Aufsätze, autobiografische Texte, Interviews und fachhistorische Schlüsseltexte. Die Autor*innen gehen dem generationellen Wandel innerhalb der Fachgesellschaft nach und sie umreißen die Entwicklung zentraler Forschungsfelder der sexualwissenschaftlichen Institute an den Universitätskliniken Frankfurt am Main und Hamburg-Eppendorf als den beiden bedeutendsten universitären Ankerpunkten der DGfS. Zudem erinnern sie an fachpolitisch relevante Kontroversen und zeigen deren Bedeutung für Herausbildung des eigenen Profils in Öffentlichkeit und Fachöffentlichkeit auf.
