I attended the International Gothic Association (IGA) Gothic-Without-Borders conference, Progression, Regression and Transgression in Gothic World Lit and Film, from September 29-October 2, 2023. The event was hosted by the Department of World Languages and Literatures at Simon Fraser University (SFU) in Vancouver and co-sponsored by the IGA. Topics covered a wide range of media including Gothic literature, drama, film, television, cyberspace, and other art-forms, exploring how Gothic-themed productions in all of these modes can augment recent efforts to decolonize, ethnicize, indigenize, and degender academic fields of study.
