Visiting Scholar in Gender and History Lecture - “Sex Workers without Sex: Thinking about Community and Connections in the Medieval Mediterranean.”
Thursday, April 11th, 2024
04:30 PM - 06:00 PM
Homer Babbidge Library
The purpose of the Visiting Scholar in Gender & History series is to bring prominent and emerging scholars working on gender with an historical framework to campus. All historical periods and geographical areas come within the purview of the series.
Susan McDonough specializes in the study of gender and sexuality in the Latin Mediterranean. Her first book was Witnesses, Neighbors, and Community in Late Medieval Marseille (Palgrave, 2013) and she co-edited Boundaries in the Medieval and Wider World: Essays in Honor of Paul Freedman (Brepols, 2017).
She is currently at work on a monograph exploring the role of sex workers as knowledge brokers in the port cities of the late medieval Mediterranean. Shifting attention away from their sex lives, this study examines how the women used institutions like notaries and law courts to stake out their community identities.

The first formal program of its kind in the state, it was founded as a flexible interdisciplinary academic program devoted to the critical analysis of gender and the pursuit of knowledge about women.
