About the speaker:

Tom Sapsford’s research interests include performance, gender, and sexuality in both ancient Greek and Roman contexts. He is the author of Performing the Kinaidos: Unmanly Men in Ancient Mediterranean Cultures, (OUP 2022), and is currently working on a new book project, entitled Classics and the Gay Counterculture, that looks at how a group of writers, artists, and activists from the 1950s onward used Greco-Roman culture in their work when facing criminalization, liberation in the wake of the Stonewall riots, the AIDS epidemic, and its aftermath.
