    Academy to Arena - 19th Century Cornwall: Popular Protest, Religion and the Path to Brexit

    Academy to Arena - 19th Century Cornwall: Popular Protest, Religion and the Path to Brexit

    Welcome to the debut episode of Academy to Arena, a captivating podcast within the Beyond the Text series. Join me as we delve into the dynamic intersection of political theory and real-world battles, exploring how ideas can transform into impactful change.

    In this episode, we embark on a fascinating journey through a paper presented at the University of Exeter during my undergraduate studies. Unveiling the intriguing relationship between dissident faith, embodied by Methodism in Cornwall, and political action, we unravel the influence of these dynamics on the landscape of political battles. From inspiring uprisings in the fishing industry and tin mines to shaping idealistic forms of politics and identity across the Duchy, the exploration of this unique connection sheds light on the complexities of societal transformation.

    While socialist and materialist protests made a modest entrance, the enduring prominence of political identity and idealistic forms of protest remained steadfast throughout the peninsula. By the conclusion of this paper, a compelling suggestion emerges — that this historical narrative may have contributed to the robust support for Brexit in the 2016 referendum, with a focus on identity trumping more material aspects of politics.

    Join me in unraveling the threads of this intellectual quest, inspired by Nick Darke's play, The Riot, and guided by the insightful supervision of Professor Timothy Cooper. Together, we navigate the intricate landscape where academia meets the arena of real-world political discourse. Tune in and explore the transformative power of ideas on Academy to Arena.

    The Jack the Ripper Murders

    The Jack the Ripper Murders

    Join Kelli as she explores the history of late 19th century's East End of London, where Jack the Ripper made his infamous, and gruesome, killings of five women before disappearing into the darkness in the fall of 1888.

    Though he was never found, his murders give us a chance to explore the lives of women, the poor, and the working classes in the gritty, industrial life of England's biggest city.

    This episode is the second of a two-episode look into two late 19th-century murderers - Holmes and Jack the Ripper - and how they became integral parts of our histories as infamous killers.

    Episode 8 American College Campus Part 2

    Episode 8 American College Campus Part 2

    Notes for episodes 7 and 8
    American College and University Campus

    In episodes 7 and 8, we look at the history of the American college and university campus from the commencement of British American settlement through modern times. The open and public spaces of campuses, as well as the design of buildings and overall layouts, reflect societal trends, philosophies, and prejudices as much as the changing purpose of higher education itself. We explore starting with the first colleges, their charters and founding as institutions meant to educate upper class white men through the post World War II period that has seen a democratization of higher education.  

    Our moments in equity for these two episodes look at how college establishment and funding were intimately connected to the slave trade, slave labor, and the profits from the sale of slaves in the British colonies and in the pre-Civil War United States.
