Sorry, @tatepozgay, you too!

Well, that's a wrap, everyone! A HUGE thank you to all of the fabulous presenters from the past two days - your work is so interesting, and it is safe to say we all learned quite a lot!

Some interesting points about the interviewer's identity in oral history! If you were in this last session, find the chat for Nemo's contact if you have any questions for them!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Listening to a video presentation by @zeus_japonicus now - they're talking about their personal experience interviewing Trans People of Colour about Les Mis fandom...and more!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Amazing insight into the complex network of feelings from freedom, belonging and limitation for exiles

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

@YasminRAkhter speaking now on Her research into M N Roy’s Memoirs

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Yasmin discusses spatial imaginaries to further her insight into Roy’s work

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Making use of the fascinating genre of memoir to discuss the Indian Exile perspective

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Fielding questions now about this: more pointedly, she's using it to understand the connection between the READER (hey, that's us!) and the speaker..

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Now Susanne Lansman, who will be talking about Charles Simic's poems!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

She's using a psychoanalytic lens to understand the voice of trauma, which is super interesting!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Thanks for sharing your research, Amber!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

Starting off the afternoon session with a talk by Amber Onver on gatekeeping in trans healthcare!

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

In describing the workings of the gender clinic, she's comparing it to "a very invasive oracle" (apologies if we're miswriting that great analogy!) and framing this as a gateway/portal to one's gender that can be stalled by these arbitrary and punitive practices.

[RHUL School of Humanities PGR Colloquium 2022 @PortalsPathways]

One more session to go at 4 pm!
