Great to hear such positive reflections on the toolkit 🤩

Our online project exhibition is now live! It features various curios we've discovered during the course of our research, including a short piece by me on how Shepperton studios almost acquired the right to appoint vicars to its local church. But didn't.

Lovely to see “Home Screens” edited by the fabulous Lorrie Palmer on display at the Bloomsbury Academic booth at #baftss2024
I wrote on precarious homes and girlhood in Fish Tank and Divines and it is really rewarding to be in so many brilliant co-authors’ company!

Chuffed to have been awarded the BAFTSS Outstanding Achievement Award 2024, in great company with previous recipients, and with a ceremony at my alma mater University of Sussex. Thankyou so much for the recognition!

Highlight of BAFTSS to see the work of Prof Sarita Malik honoured at this year’s conference.

From her 2001 book Representing Black Britain, her interventions in the field of race and representation in British film and television are field defining. Congratulations Prof Malik ❤️

Congrats Sarita Malik on your British Cinema & Television SIG @ BAFTSS Outstanding Achievement Award #baftss Sussex Alumni University of Sussex
