??Happy #PRIDEmonth everyone! Did you know that issues in the modern-day regarding gender identity and civil rights for members of the LGBTQ community are a relatively recent phenomenon as are the terms 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual'. In ancient societies, there was no distinction made between same-sex and opposite-sex couples as both were equally acceptable. The terms 'homosexual' and 'heterosexual' are modern constructs of the 19th century, coined by the Austrian writer Karl-Maria Kertbeny (l. 1824-1882) in an 1869 pamphlet arguing against the Prussian sodomy law that criminalized same-sex relationships. Kertbeny, a closeted gay man, had lost a close friend in his youth who killed himself after he was extorted by a blackmailer who found out he was gay. Kertbeny’s later works tried to remove the stigma attached to same-sex relationships which were regularly defined as perversions. ??Learn more about LGBTQ+ people in ancient history, here: https://lnkd.in/e7bRyc6X Follow SASA as we post about what #PRIDE meant to different cultures around the world during ancient history! #PRIDEmonth #HappyPRIDE #PRIDE #HappyPRIDEmonth #Education #Archaeology #Educational #ClassicalStudies #Leadership #Knowledge #Learning #Historic #KnowledgeIsPower #Teaching #Archeology #Resources #Archaeologist #AncientCivilization #AncientHistory #AncientWorld #History #FYP #RomanEmpire #Egypt #AncientEgypt #ClassicalStudies #Rome #AncientGreece

This list is so limited -- think of the women who developed the computers and software during WWII, the woman who wrote SINGLE HANDEDLY all the code for Apollo 11-- the list could go on and on... Yet, for reasons that I find difficult to understand the reluctance of venture capitalists to fund early stage companies founded by women-- especially in Japan. The reasons they give are laughable and so amazingly sexist-- and they are so unaware of their sexism. Now any investor knows that when irrational market dislocations occur (and this is certainly the case here) it is the perfect opportunity to MAKE MONEY. Thus looking at women founders isn't merely good social policy -- it is smart business. Tachi-Aoi helps such women investors in Japan start their companies-- come along with us!

When lessons “delve into Christianity far more often. . . than they do other faiths,” as Texas Republicans are reportedly planning, kids learn Christianity *is* more than other faiths. Likewise, when lessons infuse far more White and male authors, kids learn White peope and men *are* more. For Trump Republicans, lessons conveying racial and gender equality ?? “indoctrination” lessons conveying the superiority of Christianity ?? “education.” For them, “Christianity” is code for White people. https://lnkd.in/eAZPDewH

??You’ve heard of the Gender Pay Gap, but what about the Representation Gap? ????Today, the U.S. government isn’t close to having gender parity due to structural and institutional barriers that limit women's odds of success at every stage of the electoral process. ??That’s why DF grantee Represent Women identifies and advocates for reforms that make running for office accessible to a more diverse group of candidates.

The University of Colorado is excited to be hosting the 32nd Annual British Women Writers Conference May 28th-30th, 2024. ? Keynote Speakers: Dr. Patricia Matthew Dr. Kate Singer ? Submissions are due Feb 15th, 2024 ? CFP: The organizers of the 2024 BWWC invite papers and panel proposals related to the theme of ‘Reproduction(s)’ in global, transatlantic, and British women’s writing from the long eighteenth century to the present. Beyond the more obvious correlation between this theme and the centrality of reproductive rights to women’s lives, a vital resonance exists between this topic and the commitment of the British Women Writers Association to recovering “women/womxn from the margins to the center of literary history.” The act of recovery (and all forms of reproduction, for that matter) contains the potential for re-emergence and mutation—for moments of slippage and opportunities for change. Participants are encouraged to be especially aware of the potential for disruption embedded within the concept/practice/enactment of reproduction(s). ? This year’s organizers have deliberately chosen the plural form of “reproduction” because the word is simultaneously a noun, a verb, and an adjective. Also, reproduction is?both?biological and technological, as seen in the reverberating effects the industrial revolution had on blurring the supposed boundaries between women’s labor, leisure, and traditional familial structures. The ways in which aesthetics and print culture reproduce these cultural tensions reveal the continual transformations and mutations of women’s roles in society. ? Intimately tied to these issues are forms of familial reproduction, ranging from eighteenth-century laws regarding inheritance to the suffrage movement of the twentieth century. While many women were embracing new roles, their self-enacted freedoms often outpaced their legal rights. This topic is especially relevant when considering that women who suffered because of the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism had even fewer legal rights than white women of the middle and upper classes. ? Of great interest are subversive methods of reproducing knowledge, for example, unsanctioned communication networks and the re-appropriation of cultural reproductions. It would be especially beneficial to have contributions that embrace alternative approaches to “reproducing” the traditional archive. In the spirit of reproduction(s), the organizers look forward to reading proposals that play with and challenge the limits of this theme. ?
