Setting the Record Straight: Queering the Archive

Join the Newnham Queer Archive and the Museum of Classical Archaeology for an evening of re-writing history

Join the Newnham Queer Archive and the Museum of Classical Archaeology for an evening of re-writing history, exploring queer classicists of the last 150 years.

Grab a drink, listen to lightening talks about key queer figures at Newnham, or try your hand at a craft. Dive into a Cambridge history which is often overlooked and under-appreciated, told not by the male voices which have so often dominated the history books but in the words of current students and recent alumni who are queering the archive today.

This event is part of Cambridge Festival.
