"Shady Grove, My Little Love..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

To-day's funtimes project: try to find a synonym for "squicky" for an academic paper.*

(On the plus side, I've decided the topics for my two big research papers of the semester: for Cultural Anthropology I am going to write about different cultures' approaches to mental illness and how emotions are described by different cultures. For Women's Lives in Medieval Europe I am going to write about religious women whose relationship with God was sexual. I am excited! It's going to be cool. Now I just have to figure out which female historian I will write about for my historiographical report.)

*it's a paper about Australian colonialism in New Guinea. Squick squick squick.

--you don't actually know me but I am a friend-of-a-friend through bewareofitalics who happened upon this post, and I just had to tell you that "religious women whose relationship with God was sexual" is seriously one of the most interesting things we covered in my own medieval history classes. Do you have any book recommendations, etc., at this point?

At this point? No. Just people. Catherine of Sienna and Theresa de Avila spring immediately to mind!
