Biography

Dr HollyGale Millette is Lecturer (B) in Intersectional Identity Cultures at Winchester School of Art (WSA) University of Southampton. Her research is in Intersectional Identity Cultures. Deliberations on the transitional and the intersectional nature of social class are consistently present in all her work.

Her part-time PhD (2004 – 2011) specialised in late Victorian and Edwardian transatlantic performances of intersectional identity cultures. Following this and from 2012, her research focus broadened to include the intersectional identities found in the space, place and politic of the Modern Period - specifically, masculinities, class, Thatcherite (1970 – 1990) politic and neoliberal trauma. Between 2015 – 2020 her work shifted to consider the intersectional in Contemporary Gothic formulations. This work was underpinned by an interest in the post-human, the monstrosity of the contemporary socio-politic, dark tourism, the return of the repressed in urban landscapes, and the unquiet and/or unsettled ghosts of capitalism.

Other interests and publications since 2010 have been to do with performativity, celebrities and fans, oral histories and life-writing, and display. She has had her own 'Researching in the Archives' consultancy since 2011 and has trained and volunteered in Archives and in Archival practices (notably, Oral History and Interviewing) since 2017.
