Professor Helen Morales will deliver the prestigious J.H. Gray Lectures at Cambridge University, May 13-15, 2025. The lecture series was established in 1928 by an endowment from Reverend J.H. Gray, a former Fellow and Vice-President of Queens’ College, and canon of Peterborough. Professor Morales’ Gray Lectures will showcase her pathbreaking research on Modern Art, Race, and Ancient Fiction, including lectures entitled “Re-encountering antiquity with Harmonia Rosales: classical education and aesthetic dissent” and “Meeting Apollo and Daphne again: theorizing race through the art of Firelei Báez,” and a seminar on “Beyond metaphor. somatic transformations in Heliodorus, Aesop and Homer.”
