diversitysyllabiproject/index.html

In a project initiated by Cheshire Calhoun, the American Philosophical Association (APA) has been collecting syllabi from Philosophy courses that focus on the theme of diversity. At the Diversity Syllabi Project site administered by the APA, site users can find links to reading lists related to such themes as African American Philosophy; American Indian Philosophy; Asian Philosophy; Feminist Philosophy; Philosophical Perspectives on Disability Issues; Philosophy and Multiculturalism; and Gay and Lesbian Philosophy. The APA hopes that this site will encourage other instructors to develop courses of their own in these various fields, or to incorporate elements from topics which range from diversity, to art and aesthetics, to race and multiculturalism into more general Philosophy courses. There are a few broken links..

Marginality and community in medieval Europe
URL: http://www2.kenyon.edu/projects/margin/margin.htm

Designed by history students of Kenyon College (Gambier, Ohio), 'Marginality and Community in Medieval Europe' offers a good introduction to a selection of medieval communities who found themselves socially isolated because of physical infirmities or what was regarded as deviant behaviour by medieval society. After a brief introduction to the topic, the site is divided into six major categories, covering medieval heresy, Jews, homosexuality, prostitution, leprosy, and witchcraft. Each sub-section offers some limited historical background about the relevant group’s status and, in the case of heretics, briefly explains the philosophies of such groups as Lollards, Waldensians, Beguines and Cathars. Perhaps the greatest strength of this site is the additional resources offered to users.

URL: http://community.middlebury.edu/~moss/RGC.html

From Pushkin and Tolstoy to Makanin and Aksyonov, it gives a broad picture of homosexuality in Russia. The site includes an English translation of the poem "Antinous" by Mikhail Kuzmin - the first major figure in Russian gay literature, and gives information on Yevgeny Kharitonov - a major gay underground writer of the Soviet times.
