List members will be very sad to hear the news that Stuart Hall has died.
Prof. Peter Golding, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Northumbria University, writes:
A giant of cultural theory and sociology, former Director of the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham (where he was between 1964-1979), Professor of Sociology at the Open University (1979 - 1997, Professor Emeritus since 1997), President of the British Sociological Association (1995-7).
He was author, of course, of many influential works, and someone whom all scholars in media, cultural and communications studies will recognise as a seminal figure in our field who will be deeply missed.
