I really enjoyed giving this talk last night. Really great questions about what historical research means for contemporary gender equality efforts in Germany from a truly interdisciplinary crowd

How do images in newspapers shape our understanding of #femicide? Jane Freeland, Alice Baroni & Melissa Jogie compare UK & Italian media to show how visual framing reinforces national narratives of domestic violence and gender inequality. #OnlineFirst

Can any French speakers explain the difference in use between “avortement” and “termination volontaire de grossesse”? Why does it seem like anti-abortion folks prefer avortement? Maybe @maudannebracke.bsky.social knows?

This week at a seminar organised by @delfinietois.bsky.social and @jecfree.bsky.social the label of "medieval" also came up, in this case to problematise how we negatively assign it to reproductive healthcare practices of today, that don't seem to fit the script of what women did back then AT ALL.
