Researchers found in the Directory range from our PhD and early career researchers to Professors. Within these profiles, you will find details of research interests, ongoing research projects, noteworthy gender and sexualities-related publications, and teaching activity. We hope these entries will enable researchers to connect with one another (across and beyond the institution), encouraging multidisciplinary collaboration.
Course entries on the Directory provide insight into the content taught in each course, the course’s credit level, and the year taken. Course entries provide a valuable resource to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, assisting in navigating gender and sexualities studies pathways through their University programmes.

Changing Bodies in Ovid's Metamorphoses |
In our course, we will examine Ovid's account of metamorphosis, by focusing specifically on the concept of the human body and its multiplicity of implications: from gender to philosophical theories, ancient medical accounts of the body, including the senses, and specific functions of its limbs. By exploring a representative selection of episodes from Ovid's Metamorphoses (in translation), we will study the concepts, functions, and criticism of the human body and its transformation in the Greco-Roman world.
