Serena Alessi (British School at Rome), ‘Re-writing the canon and re-thinking the myth’

Rachel Delman (University of Oxford), ‘Perceiving Female Authority: Gendered iconography and domestic space in late medieval England’

Jointly supported by The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities and the Balliol Interdisciplinary Institute, the Gender & Authority project aims to explore and question received notions of social and cultural authority, specifically as they intersect with issues of gender. The Seminar will be followed by dinner with the speakers, to which seminar attendants are most welcome.
