Busy Friday night in the Johnston household. Building “book in a box” for son’s Y6 school #WorldBookDay project… all while listening to #winifredatwell for another school task about black British musicians! George McKay would be impressed!

A great publication reporting back on amazing DH-related projects funded by We are now Research Ireland & Arts and Humanities Research Council Yes, I am biased - being the UK lead on @EAFAAmateurFilm - but I’ve also seen all of these projects grow and develop in parallel to our own.

Have had a series of (hopefully useful / productive) research meetings with Film TV & Media UEA colleagues across this week. (inc claire hines Richard J Hand Melanie Williams @Tim_Snelson Jenna Pitchford-Hyde & others) So many great ideas & approaches despite (waves hand vaguely) “everything”…

Attending the Film London Higher Education Framework presentation this afternoon Great to see UEA and Film TV & Media UEA alumnus Adrian Wootton OBE - and hear from Sara Whybrew from BFI Skills & Workforce Development.

We're delighted to launch our Higher Education Framework at Vue West End today. Exploring the crucial intersection of higher education and the dynamic screen industry.

What a great review for our team’s project toolkit!

This week in the IAMHIST Blog, Juliana Gisler (UEA) writes on visiting and researching EAFA for the series 'A Day at the Archives...': wp.me/p9dj7j-2be

Just catching up on my reading. This is a brilliant piece of writing - engaged, reflective, thoughtful - that everyone should read!

Ah, I see The Guardian is accusing trailers of “giving too much away”. Again. Which is my cue to remind you of the article Jesse Balzer & I wrote pointing out that such “spoiler” claims have been happening for OVER 100 YEARS: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Such a fantastic example 🇬🇧 🇮🇪 collaboration from the recent ⁦Arts and Humanities Research Council⁩ ⁦We are now Research Ireland⁩ digital humanities bilateral rte.ie/culture/2024/0…
