Stella in the bookshop

I shall be discussing Stella Browne, her life, times, politics, etc, at Bookmarks bookshop in Bloomsbury on 29th March - see under their tab 'Events' for details.

I shall be participating at:

Sexuality & the Archive: A colloquium on method King's College London, Friday 18 February 2011.

I shall also be speaking at this event announced below, rather later in the same day

Yet another forthcoming appearance

A Wellcome Library 'Insights' session, for which they have got my title slightly wrong on the website - what I told them was 'Women, health and healing':   what they have put is Women, Healing and Health (I have no idea why, all they had to do was cut and paste the title from my email, though it doesn't, I suppose, make any significant difference to the sense).* Anyway, this is happening on 10 March 2011, 15.00 - 16.00. The event is free but numbers are limited. It consists of an illustrated talk and the opportunity to get up close and personal with a selection of relevant archives, manuscripts, and other Library materials.

It will be reprised on 14th April at 18.00-19.00 hours

*Word is (15/2) that this will be changing next time the site publishes

And yet another appearance

Let's Talk About Sex - After Hours event at the Natural History Museum, part of the programming around their new Sexual Nature exhibition (subject of an article in today's Guardian: The bizarre world of animal sex):

25 Feb 2011 at 19.00 hrs

From kissing and foreplay through to the act of sex, join us as we discuss the history and psychology behind the different stages of lovemaking and how our sexual technique compares to other creatures in the animal kingdom.

This frank and open discussion will encompass a number of questions you might be to afraid to ask... Do some people enjoy sex more than others? Why do we orgasm? What did the Victorians get up to after dark? What role does fantasy and fetish play in sex? Can we learn anything about our own sexual pleasure from other creatures like the adventurous bonobo apes? Plus many more.

Our panel of experts will be on hand to discuss the burning issues, answer your probing questions and broaden your horizons.

There will also be a chance to have your questions answered in our anonymous 'sex surgery' and we'll have a display of objects that will test your imagination!

Speakers include:
Dr Petra Boynton, University College London (UCL)
Lesley Hall, Wellcome Library
Geoff Boxshall, Natural History Museum
