[Sarah-Jane Crowson]

I am part of a panel at the 1455 Literary Arts annual festival. Panel at 5.30, July 15th EST.

Lots of other interesting things, too, and free to register. The full programme is here.

Congratulations Sarah-Jane. I like the idea of the 'critical radical rural'. Although I may have the wrong idea. I do that a lot.

David! Thank you! I am going to disappoint you as although the 'critical radical rural' is my doctoral research (40,000 words in and counting) the panel is about gender. I am really pleased you like the idea though.

Gender isn't my super-power but it's the super-power of the panel organiser. My bit is going to be to share how collage has the power to create new narratives from existing narratives, and transform - I'll be sharing an animation that takes a a particularly soppy bit of Ruskin's 'Sesame and Lilies' and changes it into something different.

(whether this is different positive or different negative will depend on the viewer, of course - and either way is fine by me).
