RuPaul herself is a drag queen, a gay man and a television host, excelling in all three like no other. We are using ‘herself’ rather than ‘himself’, as one of the authors feels more comfortable calling Ru a ‘she’. RuPaul does not care about pronouns: ‘You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis & Cathy Lee; I don’t care!

The wide diffusion of the "Entrapped Suitors" story-type has often been observed: examples are found in a remarkable number of literatures, ranging from English, French and Greek in the West, to Persian, Arabic and Kashmiri in the East. However, a text of this type that is often overlooked is the Middle Dutch play Een Speel Van Drie Minners ("A Play of Three Suitors"). This is despite the fact that it represents a highly idiosyncratic variation on the story, as it replaces the central moral with something more scabrous. We offer here a comprehensive discussion of this singular text and its narrative form, with an English verse-translation appended.

The moment of casting is a crucial one in any media production. Casting the ‘right’ person shapes the narrative as much as the way in which the final product might be received by critics and audiences. For this article, casting—as the moment in which gender is hypervisible in its complex intersectional entanglement with class, race and sexuality—will be our gateway to exploring the dynamics of discussion of gender conventions and how we, as feminist scholars, might manoeuvre. To do so, we will test and triangulate three different forms of ethnographically inspired inquiry: 1) ‘collaborative autoethnography,’ to discuss male-to-female gender-bending comedies from the 1980s and 1990s, 2) ‘netnography’ of online discussions about the (potential) recasting of gendered legacy roles from Doctor Who to Mary Poppins, and 3) textual media analysis of content focusing on the casting of cisgender actors for transgender roles. Exploring the affordances and challenges of these three methods underlines the duty of care that is essential to feminist audience research. Moving across personal and anonymous, ‘real’ and ‘virtual,’ popular and professional discussion highlights how gender has been used and continues to be instrumentalised in lived audience experience and in audience research.

Deze openbare les is uitgesproken door dr. Ellen Gerrits ter gelegenheid van haar installatie als lector Logopedie aan Hogeschool Utrecht. Dit lectoraat is ontstaan vanuit een samenwerking tussen de Faculteit Gezondheidszorg van Hogeschool Utrecht, de opleiding Logopediewetenschap van de Universiteit Utrecht en de Koninklijke Auris Groep, een instelling voor begeleiding, zorg en onderwijs voor kinderen met een communicatieve en/of auditieve beperking. Het lectoraat Logopedie heeft als missie om de transparantie van de logopedische zorg te vergroten en kennis te ontwikkelen en te verspreiden over de effectiviteit van logopedische interventie. Hierbij ligt de focus op preventie en care bij kindertaalstoornissen. Het lectoraat wil dit bereiken met praktijkgericht, toegepast onderzoek. Het lectoraat is uniek in Nederland omdat het zich specifiek richt op het vakgebied Logopedie. Het heeft daarom ook als missie om in brede zin bij te dragen aan de onderbouwing en profilering van het beroep logopedie, en aan de professionalisering en academisering van de logopedist.

In deze rede wordt gezocht naar de kansen en mogelijkheden van een deugdenbenadering in het onderwijs. In het licht van het waarden- en normendebat en de achterliggende problematiek van individualisering en subjectivering van de moraal, wordt getoond welke bijdrage de deugdethiek kan leveren aan de morele vorming in het onderwijs.

During the medieval and early modern periods, the mock sermon was one of the most widely staged festive rituals. There are records of its performance in most European countries and cultures. But despite its clear popularity in England, few of these texts are extant in English. Fewer still have been translated in their entirety. To remedy this situation, we provide here a translation of the sixteenth century Dutch poem Spotsermoen over Sint Niemand. This piece embodies most of the key features of the mock sermon; the text's rhetorical strategies, its content, and the details it reveals about its performance are all typical of the genre. Thus, the poem is offered as a specimen of the mock sermon's overall conventions and forms.
