Review: Nursing Clio

conceptualized Nursing Clio.The project was born from a public humanities graduate seminar in which historian Matthew Countryman tasked students with creating a project that not only served the public but engaged communities in a way that fostered a co-production of knowledge.Along with co-founders from five colleges and universities around the country, Antonovich believed that a collaborative blog project like Nursing Clio could provide the space and scaffolding for both scholars and non-academic audiences to contextualize discussions along the intersections of gender, medicine, and sexuality in the past and present.Such a project, the founders believed, was not only intellectually appealing but genuinely necessary.Nursing Clio's mission statement emphasizes the goal of connecting historical scholarship to contemporary issues related to gender, health, and medicine.
