The Migration of Men
Mobility and migration defined the Mediterranean. In search of adventure, employment, or profession, men and women travelled far from home to try their luck elsewhere. For the enslaved and formerly enslaved, migration and labour was forced upon them. Using archival materials from across the Crown of Aragon, this article suggests gender and economic status conditioned the experience of migrating men in the late medieval period. Attentive to a shar…
Sexual Practices and Fluidities in a Shared Pre-Modern Mediterranean
Any consideration of the premodern Mediterranean must attend to its culture of shared sexual practices. The cultural fluency and mobility of people across the region created spaces where multiple sexualities were legible across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and across linguistic and political differences, suggesting the fluidity of the Mediterranean opened up discrete spaces and permitted transgressive acts. A panoply of sexual practices shows…
Trans* & gender identity in the premodern Mediterranean
This paper explores the intersection and imbrication of transness and Mediterraneaness in the premodern period. How did Mediterranean mobility, spaces, and creativity inform and make possible the ‘transing’ of gender? Re-examining previously considered sources with the benefit of recent scholarship on archival silences and trans history, we suggest that Mediterranean culture, migration, local community, and race shaped possibilities for transgend…
Affective networks across the divide
Though previous scholarship has presumed singlewomen in medieval Southern Europe were nearly non-existent and had few means, notarial sources from the late medieval Mediterranean reveal not only that singlewomen were present in the thriving port cities, but also that they created extensive networks among other women and men in order to survive and in some cases to flourish. Some had children out of wedlock, some were formerly enslaved, others tra…
Amigas and Amichs
This article illuminates the experiences of prostitute-concubines in late medieval Valencia and the Mediterranean. It addresses their economic and affective relationships with amichs and argues that the temporary concubinary union between a prostitute and a low-status man, often a foreigner or itinerant laborer, was important to the gender identity of men at the lower levels of medieval society. Our analysis shows that patrician men who comprised…
Singlewomen in the Late Medieval Mediterranean
This article challenges a long-entrenched model of two discrete marital regimes in northern and southern Europe. Demographer John Hajnal argued in 1965 that a distinctive north-western European Marriage Pattern emerged post-1700 when a large population of unmarried men and women married in their early to late twenties and formed their own household rather than join a multi-generational household. The corollary to this argument is that women in so…
Moving Beyond Sex
Based in archival research from Barcelona, Marseille, Valencia and Palermo, this article argues for a reconsideration of the gendering of the medieval Mediterranean. It focuses on prostitutes and their movement to and from Mediterranean port cities and queries how they used the institutions of the law courts and the notariat to integrate themselves into the everyday workings of the city. The article concludes with a call to rethink whose movement…
Finding Amica in the Archives
This article is a call for US-based historians to consider participating in strategic collaboration with fellow academics in their field. Out of a series of lucky encounters in person and with documentary collections, the authors, both archival historians, created a generous and expansive collaboration both in research and writing. Galvanized by the shift in working conditions occasioned by the coronavirus, the authors map out how the field in th…

People of immigrant and refugee background sharing experiences of mental health recovery
Ten individuals of immigrant or refugee background, who had experienced mental health or emotional issues, participated in an immersive workshop to create digital stories as part of a national multicultural mental health initiative. Known collectively as ‘Finding our way’, the stories combine the power of first-person narrative with digital technologies. Three years on, six workshop participants and two coordinators reflect on the project’s effec…

Being a Neighbor
This essay takes stock of current scholarship on neighbors in the Middle Ages to think through medieval understandings of the notion of neighborliness. When historians invoke the ideas of neighbors and neighborliness, they mean something beyond the people who lived in adjoining buildings or on adjacent plots of land. When medieval people called someone a “neighbor,” the label conveyed a set of obligations, behaviors, and expectations, rooted in t…

The Role of Formal Theory in Social Work Research
Formal theories are critical to accumulating knowledge through scientific research to advance the discipline and practice. The use of formal theory in social work research is currently absent. Family Systems Theory (FST) is commonly used in social work; however, it currently lacks the criteria to be considered a formal theory. We use FST to demonstrate the formalization process and its potential effect on social work research and practice. Curren…
