Creativity as Queer Praxis
This article draws upon insights from queer pedagogy to explore the ways that creative assessments can be used to disrupt rather than reproduce existing power structures within the academy. Queer pedagogy challenges essentialist categories, centres questions of subjectivity and addresses how knowledge is socially produced. I propose that creative writing can be used to ‘queer’ assessment practices by encouraging teachers and students to rethink w…
Historicizing Gender and the "Gender Critical" Movement in the UK
Trans Feminism and the Women's Liberation Movement in Britain, c . 1970–1980
The history of the British women's liberation movement (WLM) is a growing field of study, but it has had little to say about trans participants in the movement. Drawing on feminist and LGBT+ archives and interviews, this article argues that while trans acceptance in ‘women‐only’ groups was not guaranteed during the period between 1970 and 1980, trans and cis feminists worked together to advance feminist positions on bodily autonomy and to develop…

Transience, Class and Gender in Interwar Sexual Health Policy
Focusing on the implementation of the Liverpool VD Scheme, this article reasserts the importance of morality to interwar medical understandings about the spread of venereal disease. Despite claiming to offer impartial, practical solutions to the spread of venereal disease, the Liverpool VD Scheme, created in 1916, reflected and promoted the notion that the transient lifestyles of many of the working class presented physical and moral threats to t…
One Can Only Guess What Might Have Happened if the Worker Had Not Intervened in Time
In early- and mid-twentieth century Britain, members of the Liverpool Vigilance Association (LVA) unofficially policed those who entered Liverpool's port and railway stations. The organisation feared that Irish female newcomers in particular lacked the social wherewithal necessary to maintain their perceived purity within a city such as Liverpool. Whilst the supposed innocence of Irish women was a respectable quality, the LVA believed it also mad…
