2012 Graduation

A little update from me – after completing my 11 month Web and Multimedia Graduate Internship in the University of Lincoln’s Marketing department, I landed the job of Social Media Officer!  (Woo, I believe that calls for a celebratory cocktail…or two!)

As my internship came to an end I was faced with going back to the job market which, as any graduate will know, is a scary place to be. You find one awesome job and 200 people go for it. Competition is definitely fierce, particularly in media-related roles, so I began applying for anything and everything in my field. I had a few successful interviews, including one here at the University for the Social Media Officer role which I accepted in a heartbeat. I loved my time as an intern here and the role was exactly what I was looking for.

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.   Continue reading →

The book titled ‘Social Mobility and Higher Education: The life experiences of first generation entrants in higher education’ is a culmination of a research project.  It features autobiographical accounts from 150 people about how getting a degree changed their life chances.   Continue reading →
