[Commlist] The BBC at 100 symposium, National Science and Media Museum and online, 13-15 Sept 2022

Everyone is welcome to register for free for The BBC at 100 Symposium, 
which will be held at the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford 
and online from 13-15 Sept 2022. It is sponsored by the Arts and 
Humanities Research Council with the support of the National Science and 
Media Museum, the University of Bradford and Media History.
The symposium is interdisciplinary, inclusive and free to attend 
in-person or online. It aims
- to act as a gathering of the tribes, encompassing everyone from 
established scholars to postgraduates
- to take stock of research about the past century of British 
broadcasting by scholars in history, media and cultural studies, 
literary criticism, music, technology and related fields
- to explore what conceptual and logistical changes are needed to foster 
new directions in research and teaching
- to bring together archivists and researchers to discuss how to expand 
access to BBC archival resources, especially audiovisual ones.

One hundred and fifty academics and archivists from every continent save 
Antarctica participate in thirty roundtables on aesthetics, Africa and 
the Middle East, audiences, children, digital broadcasting, digitised 
archives, diversity, documentary and features, domestic and 
international literary programming, education, entertainment, ethnicity 
and sexuality, global broadcasting, the interwar period, classical, jazz 
and popular music, local and regional radio, mainland Europe, Northern 
Ireland and 'The Troubles', oral and transnational histories of BBC 
women, politics and current affairs, popular culture and the overseas 
services, popular music, public service broadcasting, radio drama, 
realism, religion and television studies. The programme is rounded out 
by plenary roundtables about archives and the history of broadcasting 
history, a tour of the NSMM’s special exhibition on a century of 
broadcasting, a joint book launch for twenty volumes on broadcasting 
history published since Covid, a gala screening of This Is The BBC 
(1960) and a symposium dinner followed by Paul Kerensa’s one-man play 
The First Broadcast.
