Show notes

In our final episode in our queenship series, Dr. Johanna Strong is joined by Holly Marsden, Amy-Jane Humphries, and Dr Gabrielle Storey to talk about the Team Queens collective and global queenship. Holly is currently completing her PhD through the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership scheme at the University of Winchester and Historic Royal Palaces, in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery and Royal Museums Greenwich. Her thesis looks at Mary II in the context of queenship, culture, and politics in the seventeenth century. Amy is currently working on her PhD at the University of Liverpool, researching royal women of the early Georgian court in Britain. She is also the People Administrator for the Hampshire Cultural Trust. Last but not least we have Gabby, who is a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Winchester. Her research focuses on twelfth- and thirteenth-century queenship, examining co-rulership, queenship, gender, sexuality, and perceptions of power. She is the founder of the Team Queens collective, of which Holly, Amy, and I were a part.
