Congratulations to our final-year Andrew Pearse, whose poem โThe Statueโ wins the Tennyson Poetry Award 2023! ๐๐๐ It will be soon published on @BGULincoln website.
Here's a whole bunch of @BirkbeckC19 alumni attending the @VPFA1 conference in Lincoln. Having fun and learning stuff with cohort mates @janetteleaf1 and @EsserHelena along with new friends Professor Carolyn Oulton, Professor Julia Kuehn and Professor @andrewking2904.
Itโs almost time for our Reading Group session at #VPFAHiddenHistories! This afternoon, weโre discussing the joys and challenges we encounter while recovering victorian queer histories through research. Join us at 14:00 (BST) online or in Teaching Room 7!
First speaker of Panel Ten: Sophie Bantle, discussing โRipper Streetโ, which focuses on โone of the most famous crimes in historyโ. It is a counter narrative to the Ripper myth, which focuses on humanising the victims and asks the audience to sympathise with the girls.
Marginalised citizens are not just represented as victims but as people who stand up for themselves and reaffirms their identities by allowing them a place in society.
Wealth and status of those in power means that crimes against women were covered up.
Victims that survive are given a a voice to accuse and confront their abusers directly allowing them to reclaim power and energy.
