A rich tutorial site that teaches students basic principles of kinship across societies using colorful diagrams, photos from cultures around the world, profiles of example societies with different types of kinship systems, and a great deal of text divided carefully into small chunks so students aren't overwhelmed on each page. Excellent resource, but very detailed, so may provide too much information for introductory students. Could send students through only part of the site if desired.

Site examining homosexuality across cultures and times. Made by an LGBT activist, so focused not only on showing images and text from the past but also on countering stereotypes about LGBT people. Includes lots of images and discussion of many common stereotypes, along with personal twist of how they make LGBT people feel and how the community can challenge them. Useful for LGBT studies in any discipline.
