It is with great sorrow that we share the news that Averil Cameron has passed away. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her and her work. Further information will be shared in due course.
Delighted to announce our first research talk at the Byzantine Disability Hub!
A fascinating lecture by Prof. Glenn Peers that connects Freaks (1932) with Byzantine ‘healing’ imagery to offer a rethinking of disability, representation, and embodiment.
