The University of Glasgow is hosting an international conference to celebrate all things Outlander.
The conference is the first of its kind and is set to be fully interdisciplinary. The Outlander Conference features a host of expert scholars, and the programme promises to cover themes ranging from Jacobite history, screen production and Outlander’s impact on Scottish tourism to explorations of gender and sexuality, the representation of indigenous communities, and material cultures of the eighteenth-century.
Plenary speakers include Dr Diana Gabaldon (Outlander author), Professor Murray Pittock (University of Glasgow) on Culloden and its aftermath, Dr Katherine Byrne (Ulster University) on sexual violence in the series, and Professor Sir Geoff Palmer (Heriot-Watt University) on Scotland and slavery.
