The thoughts of an MMU PhD student…. February 7, 2014. The New Groves of Academe. The restructuring inspired by NM and NPM have significant and long-term consequences for academic communities. I would argue, uncontroversially (? That the promotion of digital media is one of those consequences. Krull, W. (2010).

Filming Locations | musingfrommanchester

https://musingfrommanchester.com/2013/11/20/filming-locations

The thoughts of an MMU PhD student…. November 20, 2013. The venues used for some of the Leeds Film Festival’s. Screenings this year were just about as memorable as the films themselves. For those of you who didn’t make it along (tomorrow is the final day), here are some photos of the grand Baroque-stylings of Leeds Town Hall. Described by Architecture Today. As “the epitome of northern civic bombast”. And, slightly further out of town, the hidden gem that is the Hyde Park Picture House. Even if he is ult...

I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings… | CriticalSteph

https://criticalsteph.wordpress.com/2012/07/17/i-know-why-the-caged-bird-sings

Event Amplification and Social Media. Digital libraries, tea and frivolous chatter…. I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings…. I had no idea you could tweet too much. I had no idea you could get banned from Twitter. Turns out you can. Who knew? Apparently there is a daily limit. It was a long, lonely few hours. On the upside, my sudden silence, followed by a brief explanation from a colleague on my ban, hit the main conference Twitter stream. I might’ve been unable to tweet, but I was famous!

The Sublime and the Ridiculous | musingfrommanchester

https://musingfrommanchester.com/2013/10/10/the-sublime-and-the-ridiculous

The thoughts of an MMU PhD student…. October 10, 2013. The Sublime and the Ridiculous. Going to the theatre is a special event for me, so two trips in as many weeks is a definite rarity – not least because I see so many movies that it can be easy to forget about the altogether different joys and techniques of live stage performance. Last weekend I was through at the Lowry in Salford for a production of Willy Russell’s 80s classic Educating Rita. The Hitchhiker’s Guide Radio Show. In many ways, Rita&#8217...
