WITH APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING
Dear All
A brief reminder of the ‘Broadcasting in the 1950s’ conference to be held at the University of Wales Study Centre near Newtown, mid Wales on 20-22 July 2011. Speakers include Michele Hilmes (keynote speaker), Jason Jacobs, Kate Lacey, Tom O’Malley, Ralph Negrine, Sian Nicholas and Michael Tracey. In addition to a full set of papers and panels, there will be an opportunity to see some lost British television drama discovered at the US Library of Congress.
The Conference is being organised as part of the AHRC-funded research network, ‘British Quality, American Chaos? Trans-national discourses and interactions in the history of British and North American broadcasting c.1922-1962’
Full details and an online booking form are available at http://broadcasthistory.org.uk/events/broadcasting-in-the-1950s/
Hope to see you there in July!
Best wishes
Jamie
