I, a Southern European working in Sweden, have had to make choices between attending the Nordic sexuality panel and attending the Mediterranean sexuality panel, and ended up doing the thing of going to half of each because they were scheduled at the same time and I refuse to pick my battles. #ESSHC
So great to meet up with so many colleagues from the Military Welfare History Network at #esshc #esshc2025
