I was just confirmed as a speaker at the 2015 SST Postgraduate Conference in Manchester: 'Images, Icons & Idols'. In my paper 'Idols', 'superstitions' and the 'prince of darkness' – Linguistic re-mapping of the Yorùbá pantheon in 19th century missionary correspondence I will talk about the effects of missionary translation work and re-interpretations of Yorùbá cosmology and theology. Leeds' very own Dr. Al McFadyen will be one of the keynote speakers. What a nice way to come back from the Christmas break!
