  • Heavenly Bodies
    Heavenly Bodies Gender and Sexuality in Extra-Terrestrial Culture Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of PhD in Critical and Cultural Theory, 2016 Kat Deerfield Thesis Summary This thesis explores how gender and sexuality are conceptualised in human spaceflight. The culture of outer space has received relatively little critical attention, and even less on the subjects of gender and sexuality. In this thesis I aim to expand upon this limited field and to investigate how the cultural dimensions of outer space can be used to productive critical ends. The history of gender in human spaceflight is a troubled one. For decades, women were systematically excluded from most spaceflight endeavours. I argue that in addition to this, more insidious forms of exclusion have continued despite increasing representation of women in the global astronaut corps. Representations of gender in space culture are drawn from a long history of traditional conceptualisation of masculine and feminine bodies, particularly in spatial theory. Additionally, using the particular spatiality of extra-terrestrial spaces, I argue that traditional notions of gendered bodies and spaces can be uniquely destabilised by human spaceflight experience. The gendering of outer space is often entangled with sexual culture in space discourse, as discussions of women in space are often conflated with discussions of sexuality, reproduction, and human futures in space. I analyse these ideological connections alongside feminist and queer theory to argue that while space culture is primarily heteronormative, it also holds great potential for destabilising narratives of heteronormativity. Discussions of the future, in particular, often revolve around heteronormative ideas of family and procreation, however the temporality of space culture is not as straightforward as these narratives would suggest.

  • HELEN SHARMAN CMG OBE the First British Person in Space the First British Astronaut
    HELEN SHARMAN CMG OBE The first British person in Space The first British astronaut Helen Sharman is available exclusively through DBA Speakers. To check Helen’s diary, fees, and other details, please phone Diana Boulter on 01932 228544 or email [email protected] Helen’s official website is www.helensharman.com ​ ​ ​ A selection of testimonials about Helen appears at the end of this biography. (Please note: Helen does not do social media: but other people may “pretend” to be Helen.) Helen Sharman is a pioneer, a role model for young people (of all ages!) and a world-class inspirational speaker. She became the first British Astronaut when in May 1991, aged 27, she launched on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. She spent 8 days orbiting the Earth, living and working on the MIR Space Station*. (*In the modern Russian language, “Mir” can be translated as “peace” or “world”.) ​ th Helen celebrated her 25 ​ Anniversary in 2016, with her astronaut and cosmonaut colleagues. ​ She was selected from over 13,000 applicants but didn’t think she stood a chance of being chosen ​ ​ when she applied, after hearing an advert on the radio on her way home after work. Two people were chosen for the rigorous training but only one – Helen – went into Space. But Helen was exactly the right person - calm, practical, friendly, professional and a team player. ​ ​ A superb speaker, Helen enthuses her audience about Space, STEM and the wonders of science. She describes the meticulous training and preparation, learning Russian, launch and landing, how weightlessness feels, her science experiments, the team spirit, and readjusting to life on Earth.
