Just out @EJCS_Journal with the brilliant Nick Cox! We use Mouffe’s agonistic politics to argue that Grayson Perry’s C4 documentary explored tensions occluded by deliberative democratic debate in febrile post-Brexit Britain: https:https://t.co/a4ke6BNSR1 @LeedsBeckettMCC

Absolutely fascinating research from @DrLJTaylor about deindustrialisation and it’s impact on community #beckettrec22

Wonderful to see Media & English Course Director, Dr Katherine Harrison @cottonopolist, beaming in from space (or Washington DC). So interesting being brought up to speed on her pioneering research 🚀

It's a great pleasure to have this in our hands! Huge congratulations to our Director of Research Chris Newfield (@cnewf), for his contribution to 'The Limits of The Numerical'. Check this out here 👉https://t.co/BncgTsI4ec

[Lisa J Taylor @DrLJTaylor]

That would have enriched the @BankfieldMuseum collection @Mrs_Mazzy! I was given this one while doing research @rememberfirths

[Marilyn @Mrs_Mazzy]

@DrLJTaylor @rememberfirths @BankfieldMuseum @LeedsBeckettMCC @_ISRF @purplechickpea My husband worked at Firths for 35yrs until it closed. He had a commemorative carpet square,given to some employees celebrating 100yrs (I think). We visited Bankfield and saw the exhibition, in it was a photo of his sister at work. He later donated the carpet to Bankfield.

I couldn’t agree more

#Channel4 was created by a Conservative government. #DerryGirls is exactly what the channel set out to achieve. Outstanding, original, joyous and amazing. Truthful and powerful. The #ConservativeGovernment should never sell off this unique asset.
