2 days at the annual #BritCult2025 conference. There was a sense of urgency among those of us who practice queer studies not only but perhaps especially as queer individuals in times where our fellows‘ mere being is perceived as a threat (to what exactly, though?) in many parts of the world.
#britcult2025 on queering religion, menstruation and literary reception; on being haunted by the ghosts of our past and taking strength in community for what lies ahead of us; on reading reparatively and listening to each other - thank you so much to everyone for these past 2 days!
