Join us in bookable room one, where Dr Jacob Bloomfield will be leading their workshop 'Intro to Queer History'. Hosted by the Gender Studies MA in collaboration with uea(su)

In this part lecture, part interactive workshop, Dr Jacob Bloomfield (University of Konstanz) will introduce you to queer histories, methodologies, and artefacts. You'll learn some scintillating anecdotes from queer history which will be sure to impress your date to the next the drag ball, and you'll get a chance to walk in the shoes/sequinned heels of a queer historian by analysing some genuine archival sources yourself.

 

Dr Jacob Bloomfield is a Zukunftskolleg Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Konstanz and an Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Kent. Jacob’s research is situated primarily in the fields of Cultural History, the History of Sexuality, and Gender History. Jacob is currently working on a first monograph with University of California Press on the history of drag performance in modern Britain, as well as a separate book project on the career and legacy of musician Little Richard.
