10 April, 2025, 3-5 pm: Reading in Parts: An HDR/ECR Masterclass with Professor Kathleen Lubey (St. John’s University).
The archive of sexuality often subjects gender minorities to violence and stigmatization. We’ll work with scientific and pornographic primary sources to resist this historical problem, stitching together parts of texts to reveal speculative, open-ended perspectives on sexual justice and gender diversity.
Places in the masterclass are limited. If you are interested in attending the masterclass please email Amelia Dale with an EOI briefly outlining your research background to secure a place at your earliest convenience, and before 7 March, 2025.
This masterclass is supported by the ANU Gender Institute and CEMS.
11 April 2025: The Unliterary Eighteenth Century: Gender and Marginal Texts.
