Launch of Sexing History Podcast
Sexing History: a new podcast
that examines how the history of sexuality shapes present day cultures
and politics.
This podcast, the first of its kind, is hosted by
historians Gillian Frank and Lauren Gutterman. Sexing History uses oral
histories, archival sound clips, commentary and analysis, and interviews
with other scholars in the field to tell compelling stories about the
past to illuminate our present.
Our first episode looks at the
story of Aaron Fricke. In 1980, Aaron sued his Rhode Island school
district after they prohibited him from bringing his same-sex partner to
prom. We are delighted that Aaron shared his story with us and you can
access the episode on our website.
The second episode, which will
be released later this month, tells the story of Dr. Kenneth Edelin, an
African American abortion provider in 1970s Boston.
