Daniel<\/strong> works on Ancient Greek poetry and aesthetics, especially theatre and performance cultures, comedy, invective, and the history of the poetry book. His monograph looks at the rhetoric of innovation in Old Comedy as a reflection of competition between rival theatrical traditions around the ancient Mediterranean. Daniel runs an Ancient Greek reading group at Coventry, and (with Victoria Leonard) a reading group on gendered violence. He is organizer (with Raffaella Cribiore) of an upcoming Entretiens pour l’antiquit\u00e9 classique <\/em>at the Fondation Hardt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarah Capel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sarah <\/strong>is working on a practice-based PhD exploring how women\u2019s identities are embodied in embroidered fabrics. Since graduating from her MA in History from the University of Warwick, she has applied her research skills in areas of social justice, including eight years spent working at the Prison Reform Trust.  She maintained an art practice in textiles and printmaking throughout. This led her to working with the Young Mums Support Network, where she combined her commitment to social justice with her art practice by working with young mothers and survivors of domestic abuse as an artist-facilitator. She uses embroidery in her practice and workshops. Many items hand-embroidered by workshop participants embody their personal narratives and are used as gifts. Her recent work reflects on women\u2019s embroidery as a means to explore identity, boost self-confidence and strengthen relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adeola <\/strong>is a Postgraduate Researcher in the Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities at Coventry University with a research interest that critically assesses the discovery, preservation, reception, and reuse of ancient book formats in contemporary literature through an experimental approach.

Patricia<\/strong><\/strong> is a Professor of Material and Cultural Memories and former Director of the Centre for Arts, Memory and Communities. She is currently undertaking a Leverhulme Major Research Fellowship. Her research is concerned with pre-Cartesian ecologies of embodiment and environment, and the centrality of memory to formulations of identity in early modern England and colonial America. Her monograph in progress examines pre-industrial climate change, understood as anthropogenic and racialised, and intertwined with illness, mortality, and rituals of death and mourning inflected by gender and race. Employing a critical medical humanities method, this study explores the entanglement of memory, climate and mortality in the period of climate extremes precipitated in part by European colonial expansion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
