Welcome to a new episode of En-Gender Conversations. Our guests for today are Yentl and Mary Anne and we talk about history.
Mary Anne Argo Chávez is a lecturer at the Universidad Santo Tomás – Los Ángeles (Chile). She graduated from Sociocultural Anthropology and did a social history master’s thesis about the construction of gender identities in Lota (Chile) through the discourse given by the Compañía Minera e Industrial de Chile in the local newspaper “La Opinión” between 1924 and 1962. Since then, has been carrying out research on gender studies, cultural heritage, and digital transformation in education (secondary and higher education). She is currently researching tabletop role-playing games in Chile and game studies in South America.
Yentl Love (She/Her) is a doctoral student at the University of Potsdam, Germany, where she is researching the cult of Bacchus in Ancient Rome through the lens of Queer Theory. She has written and taught a module on using Queer Theoretical approaches in the field of Ancient History, and has presented papers globally on the intersections of Queerness and Antiquity. Outside of her PhD, she uses her blog The Queer Classicist to discuss sexuality, gender, and popular culture in the Ancient World.
