The Persistence of the Victorian Prison

@ESRC-funded project The Persistence of the Victorian Prison @unibirmingham @UniofBath (@drdommoran @TricksterPrince @YvonneJewkes @Jenturner0)

[Prof Dominique Moran 💙 @drdommoran]

The latest paper out of our @ESRC funded @VictorianPrison project is now out in @SocCultGeog. In it we look at prison staff quarters, and the ways the prison reaches beyond its formal perimeter walls into social and domestic lives.

"Absolutely superb and moving. This has made me look deeper and think more - and it looks beautiful too"

Gosh @fdelond you put that so beautifully. Thank you for coming.

@RobinUoBham @mac_birmingham @UoBSocialPolicy @BhamCityCouncil @BarberInstitute @unibirmingham @VictorianPrison Well, what you took away from it was exactly what we'd hoped! (And in truth, it is really the work of the people behind the creative work, and of course the amazing photography of @andyaitchison )

[Yvonne Jewkes @YvonneJewkes]

Fabulous opening night of the @VictorianPrison exhibition @mac_birmingham featuring art, creative writing and @andyaitchison’s incredible photographs. Runs till 18 Feb.

[Jennifer Turner @JenTurner0]

@VictorianPrison @mac_birmingham @TheHowardLeague @ESRC Opening Night was wonderful. It was such a special thing to see people’s faces as they came into the room and to talk to them about their favourite/least favourite/most provocative bit. Lucky to have this kind of job to do!!

[Prof Dominique Moran 💙 @drdommoran]

It's been such a privilege to work with @TricksterPrince, @YvonneJewkes, @JenTurner0, @steveslack and @andyaitchison on this exhibition - but even more so to bring to @mac_birmingham the amazing work of people incarcerated in our Victorian prison estate.
