Congratulations to our recent recipients of TRiSS Postgraduate Research Fellowships! We are delighted to hear news of School success at both academic and postgraduate level. Prof. Zohar Hadromi-Allouache for her research project and forthcoming conference, Demons Good and Bad: an Interdisciplinary Perspective, and Neha Tetali, PhD candidate, for research on Gendering Foreign Policy: A Feminist Postcolonial engagement with the UN WPS Agenda.

This workshop will explore the sexual views, practices, and other expressions of sexuality, that are ascribed to characters in the Three Traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, as well as in the Ancient Near Eastern civilisation of Ugarit. Papers will examine the presentation, or mis-presentation, of sexual/ised characters through one, or more, of these traditions, using a single or several perspectives, such as music, theology, art, literature, history, archaeology, and other disciplines.
