A paper presented in the lecture series Queer Interventions: Talks between Cultural Studies and the Arts, organised by the University of Vienna, and held at The Depot.

A keynote delivered at Intersex and Performance: Embodying Ambiguity, a symposium and staged playreading at the Drill Hall, London.

Organised by Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance, the event was comprised of my keynote; a rehearsed reading of The Specimen; and a panel discussion, which I chaired, featuring Claire Dowie (performer and playwright for theatre, radio and TV), Colin Ellwood (director of the Rose Bruford theatre directing programme), Catherine Harper (head of the University of Brighton School of Architecture and Design), and Laurie Slade (UKCP registered psychotherapist).

The Specimen is a new play, written by Laurie Slade, directed by Colin Ellwood, and performed by students from the European Theatre Arts programme at Rose Bruford.

I was a panel discussant at a screening of A Single Man (dir. Tom Ford, 2009) at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff.

This was a sciSCREEN event organised by Cardiff University for National Science and Engineering Week.

The other discussants were Susan Bisson (film studies), Paul Keedwell (psychiatry), and Jonathan Scourfield (sociology).
