Nursing Clio (nursingclio.org) is looking for new bloggers!
We are an open access, collaborative blog project that ties historical scholarship to current political, social, and cultural issues related to gender and medicine. Bodies, sexuality, health care, medical technology, and reproductive rights play central roles in both political debate and popular culture. Our tagline – “The Personal is Historical” – emphasizes the fact that these issues don’t develop spontaneously; they represent ongoing dialogues that reach far back into the past.
