Wow! What a fantastic first GOTH Symposium we've had! Two days of thought-provoking and cutting-edge talks across many disciplines - just what GOTH is all about. Thanks to all who came and here's to the next one! #OUGOTH2021

[OU Gender and Otherness @OU_GOTH]

What an incisive, current and brilliantly nuanced keynote - we're so grateful to Noémie Ndiaye for joining us! #OUGOTH2021

[OU Gender and Otherness @OU_GOTH]

Now we're getting ready for our final session: Noémie Ndiaye's keynote 'Black Roma: Afro-Romani Connections in Early Modern Drama' #OUGOTH2021

[OU Gender and Otherness @OU_GOTH]

The final message: slow down, pay attention to even small slips and shifts in portrayals, and adjust perceptions of the racial matrix in early modern sources when necessary #OUGOTH2021
