📣We are coming to all of you with some wonderful news!
Our members will present their research at the 49th AEDEAN Conference in Feminist and Gender Studies panel!🎉
📍María Benítez Utrera will present “Little Bit of Sugar, Lots of Poison Too': Femininity and Abjection in Cry Baby, K-12 and PORTALS”.
📍Auxiliadora Pérez Vides will present “Noir Negotiations of Magdalen Ungrievability and Undoability in Joe Murtagh's The Woman in The Wall."
This July, two key members of our project have presented papers at the annual BAVS Conference (British Association for Victorian Studies) at Liverpool John Moores University: our co-PI Dr. María Isabel Romero Ruiz, and PhD candidate Isaac Linton Clewes.
In his paper, Isaac Linton Clewes analyses how Oscar Wilde's character of Sibyl Vane may be reclaimed as an autonomous figure and a female artist.
This conference was a highly productive meeting of the minds, analysing and reinterpreting the past in order to address contemporary concerns. Thank you to all who were present! #humanities #victorian #neovictorian #QueerStudies
