It’s been an amazing few days at the #GothicCrossroads conference @gothicmmu listening to amazing papers, meeting such interesting new scholars and giving my paper on the Woman in Black 🖤 Really looking forward to the next conference and @IGA_Goths next year!
Outward bound to #GothicCrossroads in Manchester for a few days of conferencing joy (it's been a while!), catching up with old friends and acquaintances 😊 - got my supplies for the journey 🖤
Had a great (if fleeting!) time at @gothicmmu #gothiccrossroads today! My eyes have unfortunately told me that they require darkness so I have had to skip out early. Always good to catch up with the assembled goths and talk excitedly about ghosts though 🙏🏻🖤👻
Had an incredible time at the #GothicCrossroads conference @gothicmmu over the last few days! It was wonderful to listen to such an impressive variety of scholars, as well as to present my own research on Matthew Gregory Lewis’s Gothic women. Roll on the next conference! 👻
#GothicCrossroads is going strong! The first day went splendidly.
Heartfelt thanks to Manchester’s #GothicCrossroads: guys, you are the best!
I absolutely loved presenting my research on Red Rose and the Televisual Gothic in the digital age at #GothicCrossroads this week - and learning from and catching up with Gothicists from around the world! Very excited to see everyone again at next year’s IGA conference in Hull 🦇
What an incredible experience I have had at #Gothic Crossroads conference, wonderfully co-organised by Emma Liggins and @beal_ellie! A heartfelt thank-you to everyone involved in @gothicmmu @XAldanaReyes @GothicMUP @MMUEnglishDept @MMUEnglishDept @IGA_Goths
And with that, the #GothicCrossroads conference has come to an end. It was the perfect way to (re)connect with my fellow Gothic scholars! Many thanks go out to @gothicmmu for the lovely time and for letting me present my paper on the philosophical horrors of the 'bad trip'!
