In November, Les Back invited us to consider the tonality and texture of Stuart’s voice, and those elements of the interview – the rhythm of his speech, the pauses, and the laughter (in its range of qualities) – that cannot be captured in a typescript, but that provide further insight into Stuart’s history (and his relationship to that history).
We were fortunate to be able to host a group of students, currently reading the MA Cultural Studies with Prof Julian Henriques at Goldsmiths, University of London in mid-November 2023.
The Cadbury Research Library has been doing some great work digitising the Birmingham student newspapers ‘Guild News’ (1958-1962) and ‘Redbrick’ (1962-1972).
