Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Nursing Clio Editorial Collective, "The Nursing Clio Reader: Histories of Sex, Reproduction, and Justice" (Rutgers UP, 2025)
Q: How can other people get involved with Nursing Clio?
People can pitch an essay, join as an editor, and engage with the community through social media and conferences.
The Nursing Clio Editorial Collective, "The Nursing Clio Reader: Histories of Sex, Reproduction, and Justice" (Rutgers UP, 2025)
Q: What is Nursing Clio? Can you just introduce us in general to what Nursing Clio is?
Nursing Clio started as a blog but is now seen as a digital publication that accepts essays on the intersection of gender, health, and medicine. It operates as a feminist community.
Susan Ashbrook Harvey, "Ministries of Song: Women’s Voices in Ancient Syriac Christianity" (U California Press, 2025)
Q: What do you hope readers take from the book?
I want readers to see that women had central roles in ancient Christianity, not just as devoted laypeople but as key contributors to liturgy and community life, a history that has often been ignored.
Susan Ashbrook Harvey, "Ministries of Song: Women’s Voices in Ancient Syriac Christianity" (U California Press, 2025)
Q: When listeners are picturing a choir of Syriac women, what should they be picturing?
These were small choirs, often consisting of two to eight women in villages, who were dedicated to the service of the church, more like community singers than nuns.
Susan Ashbrook Harvey, "Ministries of Song: Women’s Voices in Ancient Syriac Christianity" (U California Press, 2025)
Q: How did you come to write this book?
I started my career working in late antique asceticism, which fascinated me, leading to my interest in the role of women's choirs as I discovered their importance in Syriac studies.
