February 2019 – History | Sexuality

During the last semester we offered the seminar “Law and Sexuality in a global context in the 19^th and 20^th century”. Instead of seminar presentations the students had the opportunity to be part of a student conference or to write an entry for this blog.
On February 13^th 2019, we want to invite you to join the conference. It will take place at the Seminarzentrum of the Freie Universität Berlin. The blog entries will be published during the upcoming weeks.
