On Thursday I will give the lecture 'Performing Gender: Cross Dressing and Androgyny on the 18th-Century Stage' for Oxford’s Insight into Humanities Series (@ox.ac.uk). I’ll talk Judith Butler, George Farquhar and cross dressing for justice. It is aimed at 16-17 yos but all welcome! lnkd.in/e37kT2YM

Very much enjoyed the launch of the fantastic Collected Letters of Hannah More, which took place at More’s former residence (Barley Wood) near Bristol this afternoon. Thank you @joedwards.bsky.social and Dr Ben Wilkinson-Turnbull for inviting me! Exciting update on my involvement in the project soon

Thoroughly enjoyed my first @bsecs.bsky.social conference at @pembrokeoxford.bsky.social. It was so wonderful to meet many of the brilliant book-writing, question-asking and song-singing people researching the 18th century. Thank you all! 📸 Emmanuelle Delattre-Destem on dance and politics of size.
