Hello My Brilliant Academics! To start with – congratulations to Prof Feona Attwood, Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at Middlesex University who has won seed funding from the Wellcome Trust, along with Principal Investigator, Clarissa Smith, Professor of Sexual Cultures at Sunderland University, for a project on pornography and young peoples’ health and well-being. <more> I read couple of interesting articles this week, which I’d like to share with you; perhaps it will inspire someone?       

If you are wondering what’s going on in London this week: Walthamstow Wetlands has been undergoing major redevelopment since 2012, and it will finally open to the public. If you fancy a move back in time - RA lates: Manhattan Studio Party Royal Academy is swinging open its doors for an avant-garde New York-style party after hours. Performances, installations, DJs, talks and film screenings will transport partiers to Manhattan in the ‘60s and ‘70s. And finally a one day exhibition with ASOS and Sophia Tassew called Riot! Riot! Riot! is also happening this week. -

PARISH ANNOUNCEMENT -

I met 4 new fantastic academics last week for funding support and supported 9 others of my experienced researchers and I must say I would be pleased to do so next week! To make it easier for you - I will spend half of Wednesday next week (25th) from 10.00-15.00 in the Quad, wearing a red scarf, sitting on the same side as Costa. No bookings required, just turn up, say ‘Hi, I have this project you could help me with’. See you next week Wednesday. Best wishes Anna
