Re-Imagining the Gothic: Celebrating Interdisciplinary Gothic studies!


The University of Sheffield Gothic event "Re-Imagining the Gothic" is almost upon us!  Just one week from now on May 9th the University of Sheffield will be hosting our Symposium and Showcasing event in the Jessop West Exhibition space.  

"Re-Imagining the Gothic" was conceived and designed by Sheffield Gothic in order to cultivate and promote interdisciplinary Gothic research.  We hope to inspire fresh interest in all facets of Gothic studies and open up new avenues for engagement.

Those interested in attending the Symposium should email their name, the name of the institution, and any dietary requirements to reimagininggoth15@gmail.com.  The Showcasing event is open to the public and does not require registration.
