📢 Hoy venimos a contaros las actividades que, con motivo de la Noche Europea de l@s Investigadores, llevaremos a cabo desde nuestro proyecto. Ambas actividades tendrán lugar el próximo viernes 25 de septiembre en Málaga, Huelva y Almería, ¡y os invitamos a todxs a participar!
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
