Reader in Latin Language & Literature, Royal Holloway University of London
My research focuses on the intersections between Latin literature, ancient philosophy and gender studies. I also have a strong specialism in classical reception.
My core research is on Seneca the younger and his approach to Stoicism and the family. As a result, I'm interested in his works in general and the social history that provides the context for understanding them, as well as the way that he reshapes Stoicism for Roman culture. In the broader field of Latin literature, I'm interested in innovative approaches to familiar texts, particularly from a feminist perspective or from an angle that incorporates social history and the family.
One half of my classical reception interests focused on classics in popular culture, with a particular interest in film and children's literature. My book on the reception of classical monsters in popular culture was published by Bloomsbury Academic in 2019. The other half is interested in the history of women and classics, in particular how women became professional academic classicists in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
As well as academic journal articles and books, I have written for publications with a wider public audience including Times Higher Education, History Today and Strange Horizons. I have media experience working with television, documentary film, radio and newspapers.

Professor of History of Art, University of Sussex
After a first degree at the University of Durham in Ancient History and Archaeology and then an MA in Byzantine Studies at the University of Birmingham, Liz James did a doctorate in light and colour to the Courtauld Institute in London. She then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the Barber Institute, University of Birmingham, and a British Academy Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship before starting at Sussex in 1993.
She is a Byzantinist interested in Byzantine things and what they tell us about Byzantium, across the whole range of the Byzantine Empire. She has worked on the perception of light and colour in Byzantine art; the role of women in Byzantium, and in questions around Byzantine gender; and the relationships between art and texts.
Most recently, she was engaged on a research project exploring Byzantine mosaics. With the help of colleagues, she constructed a database of medieval mosaics (available at http://www.sussex.ac.uk/arthistory/research/byzantinemosaics).
She also maintains a website https://medievalmosaics.com which aims to catalogue all surviving medieval mosaics.
Her mosaics work was supported by The Leverhulme Trust through a series of grants between 2003 and 2015.

Professor of Comparative Religion, Miami University
Liz Wilson is Professor of Comparative Religion at Miami University of Ohio. She earned her doctorate at the University of Chicago Divinity School, specializing in the History of Religions. Her focus is on the religious history of pre-modern South Asia. Her primary training is in Buddhism, especially Gupta-era narrative literatures of pre-modern India. Her secondary training is in Jainism, Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism, both in South Asia and in diasporic contexts in North America. Wilson’s primary analytical lenses are gender, sexuality, gerontology, and family-formation.
Wilson’s first book _Charming Cadavers: Horrific Figurations of the Feminine in Indian Buddhist Hagiographic Literature_ (University of Chicago Press, 1996) broke new ground in applying a gender studies lens to pre-modern Buddhist literature and practice in the Indian subcontinent.
The question of how renunciant Buddhists relate to those outside the monastery has been a central preoccupation for Wilson. From this foundation of specialized research, she engages in comparative religious studies, writing about styles of celibacy in different religious and secular communities. She has published on how celibacy contributes to family formation and community building in Buddhist, Christian, and other religious communities that laud the benefits of celibacy and exalt the spiritual work of celibate people. She has delineated instances that bear up the assumption that celibate people have more time to give to those outside their biological families and hence have the potential to build community well. She has explored controversial topics such as the status of out lesbians who choose to be celibate in line with what they regard as central teachings of the Roman Catholic church and the question of whether sexual pleasure is a fundamental human right, as advocated by some in the on-line incel (involuntary celibate) community.
Wilson has written on Buddhist modalities of death and dying. She's compared death rituals across a range of South Asian religions. South Asian vampires are a special interest, especially the undead of the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal.
Recent work builds on research in South India among Hindus, Christians, and Muslims in Kerala. In this work, Wilson explores questions about asceticism, gender segregation, and male identity formation in a popular South Indian pilgrimage that has historically prohibited reproductive age women. Wilson’s published essays on the topic cover the stand-off between conservative Hindu nationalists and groups advocating for the right of reproductive age women. She’s currently writing an essay that speculates about the extent to which transwomen are already making the pilgrimage and whether other gender queer people may also be allowed to visit the temple that is the culmination of the pilgrimage experience.

PhD researcher in Digital Archaeology, University of Glasgow
I am a PhD researcher at the University of Glasgow, and my work is at the intersection between archaeology and digital media practice. Over the course of my research, I've been focussed on the archaeology of the Scottish Highlands, with a particular focus on the landscapes of Glencoe and Rannoch Moor. Through considering the townships, shielings, crofting landscapes, sheep farms and the contemporary landscape, I’ve explored how as archaeologists we might represent stories about these places throughout time.
My research considers how we might create immersive audio that deals sensitively with perception, immersion and reality, especially when it comes to dealing with a past reality that was very different from our own. Drawing in interdisciplinary links from sound studies, sound art, and performance studies, I’m interested in the embodied, sensory experiences of people that lived in these past landscapes and communicating this with audiences today. By creating field recordings, compositions, and immersive audio media, I explore how thinking about sound and archaeology can be a critical and active form of archaeological research.

Postgraduate Researcher in the School of English, University of Leeds
I am a current postgraduate researcher in the School of English at the University of Leeds. My thesis, entitled 'The ‘good for her’ genre and violent revenge in American feminist film (2014-2022)', focuses on contemporary film and television narratives of violent revenge committed by women in unstable states of mind. I examine my texts as a response to the rising misogynist terrorism perpetuated by internet-based incels, which saw an increase from 2019 onwards in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.
For my Masters by Research in English Literature, I undertook a 30,000 word dissertation titled 'Disability and Disfigurement in Twenty-First Century Comic-Book Films', exploring metaphorical and literal disability in superhero films. I posited that the origin stories of super-abled people serve the same purpose as the account of how the disabled person ‘became’ disabled; creating demand for a story where non-disabled people can explore and exploit extraordinary bodies.

Lecturer in Law, Cardiff University
Lizzy is an interdisciplinary and critical legal scholar who works at the intersections of immigration law, critical legal studies, critical race studies and art.
Her doctoral research, 'Productions of Ignorance and Co-Productions of Resistance: Britain's Hostile Environment', was funded by Cardiff Law School Scholarship. This research focuses on contemporary UK immigration laws, known as the hostile environment, colonial histories of immigration laws and creative resistances to them. Approaches to this research include doctrinal and historical with critical property and critical race theory to scrutinise immigration laws as technologies of mobility, categorisation and segregation of people. Grassroots and co-productions of resistance to these processes were detailed through the case study of The Hostile Environment Walking Tour (2018), a participatory art project produced by Lizzy as part of the Who Are We? Project, a three-year project at the Tate Exchange.
