Notes on Craft Series: Dr Dorothée Boulanger in conversation
Wednesday 23 October 2024, 6.30pm - 7.30pm
Seminar Room, Radcliffe Humanities Building
All welcome.
Join Queer Intersections Oxford for a conversation with Dr Dorothée Boulanger to mark the publication of her co-edited book Arts et activismes afroqueers: Littératures, images, performances, (with Susanne Gehrmann, Karthala, 2024). Notes on Craft aims to foster conversations between activism and academia, and to give context to students and early career academics on how their political, scholarly, and lived experiences might effectively feed and shape one another.
Dorothée Boulanger is a Career Development Fellow in Women’s, Gender and Sexualities Studies at the University of Oxford, and a Junior Research Fellow at Linacre College. Dorothée’s research lies at the crossroads between African literature and history, with a specific interest in Lusophone Africa, gender and ecocritical perspectives. Her first book, Fiction as History? Resistance and complicities in Angolan postcolonial literature (Legenda, 2022), is based on her PhD in history at King’s College London. It explores fiction as a historical source and the role of writers in shaping historical consciousness in Angola.
