Womanly Wickedness in West Midland Medieval Wall Paintings

This research forum looks at two projects based in important sites in the West Midlands (Coventry and Stratford-upon-Avon) to explore how art historical methods can be communicated in a transparent and engaging way. Are they ale wives or wanton women? Should we call the figure in that painting 'the whore of Babylon'? Can we be certain? Does it matter?

The February Vaughan Open Research Forum will be presented by our own Dr Miriam Gill.
