Research Output: Contribution to conference Paper Peer-review

Abstract

Highlighting my own pedagogical approach to undergraduate and postgraduate research in which archival work, historical enquiry and close textual analysis are given equal weight, this paper draws extensively on Benson’s unpublished diaries and correspondence, exploring both Benson’s own engagement with the campaign for votes for women and her portrayal of that campaign in I Pose (1915) in which the protagonist spends her life ‘exploring the adoption of new poses in a world where the old stereotypes no longer work’.
