This book is a good read if you’re interested in the process involved in the representation of history on television. It is a culmination of an AHRC-funded research project, called ‘Televising History 1995-2010’, by Professor of Cultural Studies Ann Gray and Senior Lecturer Dr Erin Bell.
Erin said their book “considers the representation of the past on television through factual programming. Beginning with the question ‘why does history on TV look the way it does?’, and drawing on interviews with media professionals, historians, archivists and archaeologists, as well as undertaking analysis of a range of factual programming, from Who do you think you are? to Timewatch.

This is Professor Mary Stuart’s book about the history of higher education in the UK. The Vice Chancellor of the University of Lincoln used real-life personal experiences from those who were the first people in their family to go to University.

The 23rd of January was the first graduation day of 2013 for the University of Lincoln. As part of the LSM’s alumni team, I find it‘s a great opportunity to capture the event. Although I have to admit that I have never attended the January ceremonies at Lincoln Cathedral, until now. Today I was fortunate to see graduation from a different perspective – as a postgraduate student. So, as I warm up now with a glass of mulled wine and raise it to all alumni, I thought I’d post a couple of photos taken by my nearest and dearest.
Cheers!
Taking centre stage was actor John Hurt CBE who received an Honorary Doctorate of Arts. Perhaps you can spot the Head of the LSM Sarah Barrow, and how about anyone else pictured?
