Dylan Sebastian Evans (BA Brist, MSc LSE, MA by Research Nott) is a part-time postgraduate-research student in the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures at Royal Holloway, University of London, where his doctoral research — jointly supervised by Prof. Hannah Thompson and Dr Robert Priest — examines nineteenth-century French medico-legal discourses of sexuality. His thesis adopts and adapts French historian Michel Foucault’s ‘archaeological’ method of historical enquiry for the purposes of writing a ‘micro-history’ of rape in France during the Second-Empire period from 1852 to 1870. His academic background is interdisciplinary in nature and includes a BA in French and Politics (with First-Class Joint Honours) from the University of Bristol; an MSc in Gender, Development, and Globalization (with Distinction) from the London School of Economics; and an MA by Research in French Studies from the University of Nottingham. As well as having served as a postgraduate representative, colloquium/symposium organizer, and reading-group leader, he has taught French language at undergraduate level, presented his work at international conferences on both sides of the Channel, and published peer-reviewed articles online. He is actively and energetically pursuing a career in academia.
