I've also uploaded the script for my paper for the Critical Studies in Television conference to Humanities Commons: https://doi.org/10.17613/yk7v-r911
'Historical Power, Historical Trauma and the Gothic Historical Drama' sets out the core ideas of my research into the presentation of history through a Gothic lens in recent television dramas.

I've uploaded the script for my EUPop 2023 paper 'Bringing Imperial Trauma Home: Taboo as Gothic Historical Drama' to Humanities Commons. This is part of my research into what happens when historical drama is presented through a Gothic lens.

#CallForPapers: Consuming the #Gothic Conference

How is #consumption reflected in Gothic #literature, #film, and #art? Is it always monstrous, or can the way we consume forge a sense of community? What does consuming in relation to the Gothic mean to us today?

Proposals wanted for 20 minute research papers, 5 minute lightning talks, and creative writing pieces (of whatever length you like!).

#CallForPapers: Dying of Laughter: Horror Spoofs and Parodies

The collection will be the first to provide a sustained interrogation of the relationship between parodies/spoofs and the #horror genre, exploring an underdiscussed but significant part of the genre corpus. It will bring together writing on major canonical spoofs and underdiscussed films, as well as expanding the scholarly writing on horror #spoofs into non-Hollywood and non-Anglophone films and other forms of media.
