We've had papers about everything: vampires, detective novels, Wagner, Mean Girls, drag, community theatre, period dramas - and loads more besides!

Even if your "main area" isn't law and lit, you know there's a paper you always wanted to give about that personal interest of yours...

Another episode of Drag Race UK tonight. And of course, there's more Dragula Titans this week too. I wonder if anyone has ever written about whether drag reality TV shows are miniature legal systems, and applied queer theory to RPDR? HMMMMM?!??

Planning ahead to see which conferences / events would be cool to go to - there's events on legal design, the Gikii conference and an event in inclusive legal education, which I all love. All are taking place on the same day in September.
a white cat is sitting on a box with the words `` why '' written on it .
Alt: a fluffy white creature, that looks like a cross between a cat, a monkey, and a squirrel, is sitting on a box with the words `` why '' written on it. The creature's paws/hands are held out in front of it as if to ask 'why?' and its expression is disgruntled, with large dark eyes and a downturned mouth.

This was such a fun & amazing event! We developed some clear principles for working fairly with drag artists in legal research projects. We also demonstrated how effective forum theatre is as a legal research method!
