Selected Databases

This list of research databases focuses on secondary scholarship such as analysis or critique. Please see the plethora of other research guides too - while this list focuses on resources specific to the gender and sexuality studies space, other disciplinary databases in history, sociology, anthropology, political science, etc. might be quite useful. In those disciplinary databases or in more general multidisciplinary databases, you can add specific keywords to your search to help look for research through a specific lens or angle.
