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).

The thoughts of an MMU PhD student…. November 4, 2013. Today I gave a guest lecture through at Liverpool John Moores University.

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...

The thoughts of an MMU PhD student…. March 12, 2014. Myself and a friend are just back from visiting Krakow, Southern Poland – my first proper trip to Eastern Europe! Well, I have been to Vilnius (in Lithuania) but by post-Cold War definitions that’s actually Northern Europe. Some resemblance probably makes sense. As soon as we stepped out of the taxi, it was clear that we’d picked an excellent destination. Our hotel. This slideshow requires JavaScript. Wherever you go in Krakow, you are reminded of Roma...

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’...

Contemporary Art and Writing Journal. Subscribe & Buy. Review: PAPER #9 – interim, PAPER Gallery, Manchester. November 6, 2013. Text by Luke Healey. The sign on the way to Paper Gallery.

The result of these spatial limitations which are really evidence of resourcefulness, of making good use of the available space at Mirabel Studios.
