As we lumber towards 2015, various things are starting to ramp up. One of the events in my sights is the UK’s first National Festival of LGBT History, which will take place in Manchester during February (because that’s when we do LGBT History Month in the UK). You can find lots of exciting details at their newly revamped website. You may also note that there is an academic conference attached to the event, and if you look carefully through the programme you will find that I’m giving a paper. I may be talking a bit about Alice Sheldon.
