I'm not sure how I'm just finding out about the Venereal Disease Visual History project, but my guest lecture about VD policing, gender, and the U.S. military during WWI just got way more interesting. Check it out: https://t.co/lQk4Rzktx0

@BryanBanksPhD Gail Bederman’s “Manliness and Civilization” and George Chauncey’s “Gay New York” really sparked my interest in the history of gender and sexuality.

I did perhaps my favorite U.S. lecture of the semester this morning where I ruined shaker furniture, Oneida silverware, and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes in 50 minutes. I love bringing in the History of Sexuality in a rather conservative environment.

The commute to Lexington is long and tedious, but the views are breathtaking. I took some time to enjoy the scenery on my drive home tonight.
