Childbirth and Maternal Health in 17th-Century England

May 10, 2020

Historical material about the bodily and emotional experience of the period after birth has been relatively neglected....

As an academic researcher and teacher of ancient and medieval history, I endeavor to give voice to the ideas and concepts from my studies and those of others and share them with those people seeking exposure to expert perspectives who may otherwise lack such direct access. I believe it is important that we open avenues of productive dialogue between experts and non-experts - both of whom I try to bring together here - in order to elevate the greater discussion of ideas among the engaged populace.

This website is our coffee table, and we invite you to join us - have a seat with your favorite cup of joe and see where the conversation leads.

On behalf of myself and the Brewminate team, welcome!
