Panel: Dr Alex Brostoff Dr Alice Parrinello Dr Evelyn Whorrall-Campbell Dr Wannes Dupont (chair) Queering tends to reject stable conceptions of sexual and gender identity in favour of deep thinking about methods, methodologies, theories and epistemologies. Queer perspectives provide the opportunity to adapt and reclaim research methods that may reflect a heteronormative, privileged or hegemonic bias. These creative and transformative possibilities can also enable a critical reflexive engagement with understanding and theorising queer lives and politics. This discussion brings together researchers in literature, film, theatre and digital art to explore the ways in which queering can enrich contemporary scholarship in the arts and beyond, and the role of trans in queer/ing research. The event will be followed by a drinks reception. This LGBT+ History Month event is supported by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) and GENDER.ED. Accessibility: This event will take place at IASH, 2 Hope Park Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9NW.

If you have mobility issues and would like to discuss access, please contact iash@ed.ac.uk as soon as possible. Biographies Our panel are all 2024-25 Postdoctoral Fellows at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh: Alex Brostoff (they/them) is Assistant Professor of English at Kenyon College, where they are affiliated faculty in Gender and Sexuality Studies, American Studies, and the Latinx Studies Concentration. An interdisciplinary scholar and translator, their work converges at the crossroads of genre-hybrid literatures, literary and critical theory, and trans and queer cultural production in modern and contemporary hemispheric American studies. Their first book, Unruly Relations: A Critical Reframing of Autotheory, is under advance contract with Columbia University Press. They are also the co-editor of two volumes: Autotheories (The MIT Press, 2025) and Reassignments: Trans and Sex from the Clinical to the Critical (Fordham University Press, under advance contract), as well as the co-editor of “Autotheory,” a special issue of ASAP/Journal (2021) and “Trans Literatures,” a special issue of College Literature: A Journal of Critical Literary Studies (2025). They have translated a range of works from Spanish and Portuguese, including Indigenous leader Ailton Krenak’s Life Is Not Useful (Polity Press, 2023) and Ancestral Future (Polity Press, 2024). Their scholarship and translations have appeared in ASAP/Journal, Critical Times, Synthesis, Dibur, and South Atlantic Quarterly, as well as at the Museum of Modern Art, and elsewhere. They received their PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of California, Berkeley in 2021. Alice Parrinello (she/her) was recently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Oxford, investigating postcolonial and environmental films for the Wellcome-Trust funded project “After the End” in collaboration with the British Film Institute (BFI). She completed her PhD from the University of Oxford in 2024 with a thesis on the films and plays by Sicilian director Emma Dante through the lens of queer theory. Alice's research engaged with questions of temporality, spectrality, kinship, ecofeminism, and homonationalism in Dante's works and argued that a queer and Southern epistemology is taking place. Her published work includes articles that have appeared in gender/sexuality/Italy, Whatever. A Transdisciplinary Journal of Queer Theories and Studies, and Simultanea: A Journal of Italian Media and Pop Culture, among others. Evelyn Whorrall-Campbell (they/them) is a researcher, writer and artist. They completed their PhD in Film and Screen Studies at the University of Cambridge in 2024, with a thesis on British trans cultural production and trans theory in the 1990s. Their PhD combined historical and theoretical approaches to demarcate this as a period of radical practice and epistemic change, and to argue that the difficulty of thinking trans in the present originates with the political horizons of the 1990s. Informed by their creative work, Evelyn’s research attempts to develop strategies of trans theorising and practice that challenge the foreclosure of gender transition as material reality. Their writing has been published or is forthcoming in British Art Studies, world picture journal, Art Monthly, and Cambridge Literary Review, amongst others. Evelyn is also the author of Memoirs of a Child Plot Hole: How to Escape Yourself Without Even Trying, a work of experimental fiction published in 2022 by Sticky Fingers Publishing. Their work has been shown, performed, read at TACO!, Kaunas Artists’ House, Auto Italia, Kupfer Project and Kingsgate Project Space. Chair: Wannes Dupont (he/him) is Lecturer in History of Sexuality at the University of Edinburgh’s School of History, Classics and Archaeology. Previously, he was Assistant Professor of History at Yale-NUS College in Singapore after postdoctoral fellowships at Yale University and for the Flemish Research Foundation at the University of Antwerp. His work, publications and teaching primarily concern the European and global sexual pasts, queer history, reproductive politics, and the intersections of biopolitics and religion. He is also Associate Director of GENDER.ED, the University of Edinburgh's university-wide platform of the promotion of teaching and research on genders and sexualities.

Best Things to Do

Historic buildings

today is

Edinburgh Castle is really beautiful, mainly because of the great weather. It takes two to three hours to walk around, and it will be faster if you walk quickly. After entering, you can use the voucher number provided by Ctrip to exchange for a paper ticket. You can rent an interpreter for 3.5 pounds and enter the corresponding number of the attraction to listen.

Palace of Holyroodhouse

leotiger

Holly Luther Palace is worth a visit. When time permits, you must see Queen Mary&#39;s Palace in Scotland. It is still the place where the royal family holds a garden party in the summer. It overlooks the throne of Arthur. The order of visits inside the palace is very reasonable. With the introduction in the headset, immersive feeling the heavy atmosphere of history! !

The Scotch Whisky Experience

I have been here more than ten years ago, and this time I come again is not the same as before. There are a lot of high-tech things, but a lot less original and the most original. If you have time, you can experience it. There are interpreters in various languages, real-time, and translation with the rhythm of the on-site tour guide, which is very convenient. You can also choose a whiskey.

Edinburgh Old Town

_TI***40

it was so lovely and easy to walk around. There were loads of shops in the city centre and I would highly recommend to those who loves heritage and history.

Calton Hill

Mountain climbing

Night view

💎月亮宝石环游世界🌎

It is the most romantic sunset place. I have been here, it was cold but beautiful! I will not go into details about the many celebrity check-in places.
But my only deepest experience was the lyrics,
&quot;The castle keeps secrets for love, and I keep memories for you&quot;
I didn&#39;t think this song was romantic before, until I climbed to the top of Carlton Mountain⛰️It was really speechless and beautiful!!
I really like this light blue gentle dusk~~Thanks to the little afterglow near sunset that day, I saw the light blue and light orange sky line in the distance, which was really extremely romantic~~Continuously touched me✨💕🌹Recommend this extremely romantic place, must go?
【Scenery】
Medieval dusk🌆, the only one in the world❤️
