Join University of Worcester academics for an evening of lightning 15-minute talks about Christmas from their areas of expertise, including Media & Culture, English Literature and Psychology.
Programme:
- Festive Family Films - Katy Wareham-Morris, Media & Culture Do you and yours sit down to watch your family Christmas film? Explore how and why we watch the films we do at Christmas and their link to family traditions
- Christmas, Covered. All the Small Things: Communicating the Bigger Picture - Lou Aimes-Hill, Media & Culture Join us for an exploration of the annual John Lewis Christmas message, where we will discuss how a well-chosen, pop-punk cover version can successfully communicate the Christmas message by 'engaging the listener in a historical duet with lyric and lineage... a delicate and dichotomous dance between past and present, place and possibility' (Plasketes, 2005)
