Filming in process with John Gallagher

In a slight break from tradition, today is the day to showcase some of my own research on this blog ... to lay my own spoons out for inspection on their tray, you might say. 

In the last couple of months, I've been incredibly lucky and honoured to be involved in a series of video casts showcasing PhD research, produced by fellow students John Gallagher and Richard Blakemore in partnership with Ruth Rushworth at CRASSH (Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities). The first season features 6 PhDs, with many more to come they hope.

The idea is to give interdisciplinary students a chance to talk about their research with an eye to public engagement and making their ideas fun and interesting to a broad audience. I've really enjoyed the process of thinking through, recording and then publicising the film, and think it looks and sounds pretty good! My film is the second in the series 'it's not longitude that matters, it's what you do with it that counts', and launched today, with a page of associated links and references. You can watch the film or listen as a podcast on iTunes. I'm excited to see what my readers think.
