Auburn Langley
Writer, Director, and Public Speaker in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear
Auburn Langley, Director of Sunderland Lit & Phil, is a community activist and facilitator. When not talking about history, philosophy, or political activism, Auburn is likely buried beneath a stack of books she intends to read.
Auburn likes to make history tangible and accessible, examining history to look at identity and what led to us becoming what we are today. On the shoulders of giants, and all that. In Auburn’s Queer Roman Frontier project, in partnership with Harbour Printworks, she explores gender identity and sexuality from the ancient world.
Alongside running the Lit & Phil, Auburn uses various creative mediums such as Calligraphy, text-based games, plays, and novels to explore Women's History, Northern Identity and Political Education.
