The findings of your research will inform the next stage of production and we expect you to utilise a variety of research methodologies (e.g. primary, secondary, ethnographic).

Please remember, it is imperative you gather enough initial material to develop your final 3,000-word article.

Initial thoughts on this idea on my blog -  https://alicemarlow.home.blog/2020/02/29/week-6-research-and-curate/

There are some of the walkways & subways still left in Newcastle which don’t actually go anywhere and my idea is to look at this manifesto in relation to Newcastle at the time, the contentious city planning decisions of T Dan Smith and consider the influence it still has today.

One quote from the manifesto which doesn't really translate well to today's society is: ‘ You can walk or ride undercover from hotel to restaurant to theatre to nightclub to bowling alley after a day of tennis, swimming, lectures, womanising and chastisement if that’s the way you want it’

A detailed exploration of the juxtaposition between the Satanic Temple and the centre of Christianity in the UK. 

Canterbury Cathedral is one of the most well-known religious sites in England. Famed for the murder of Thomas Becket in (DATE), it is the centre of the Church of England and the home of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Every year, it brings in tourists from around the world, who pay pilgrimage to this holy site, just as they did in Chaucer’s Canterbury tales.

Recently a new branch of the Satanic Temple has opened in Canterbury and has been slowly increasing in members. This increase has largely been due to the 2019 release of the film ‘Hail Satan?’, a documentary which explores the Satanic Temple and its charismatic leader Lucien Greaves.

2. Athlone Town v Ac Milan 1975 – I work in Athlone Town. In 1975 the towns’ soccer team were riding high in the 1^st division(poor standard). They welcomed AC Milan for a UEFA cup tie in their home ground. A MASSIVE EVENT at the time. This would be the equivalent of Woking Town playing Real Madrid in their home ground today. This is seen as the biggest event in the towns history. I’d like to explore the effects that game had on the club, the town and Irish soccer in general. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLc40Ew3lD8

The article will seek to explore the notion of this literary practice, through the lens of a social-commentary: According to the architects of the genre, the ghost story has always adapted in order to express the anxieties of the era.

Two) Candid tourism: Candid tourism: An assemblage of news headlines taken from local and national news outlets, that when viewed as a single text would provide a multi-faceted, alternative narrative of life in Herefordshire. Known primarily for its luxurious, period properties and genteel way of life, the county is synonymous with an upper-middle class culture, however, like many areas the social fabric of the county is far more eclectic and it is the disparities between these contrasting demographics, that would provide the basis for my exploration: Does this existing cultural identity accurately reflect the social fabric of the county, as a whole?

Given that those associated with the projects are held in considerable disdain now, a lot of what they were aiming for has actually been realised (though arguably with a little more care taken) and is serving as inspiration for future developments

I’m not sure, maybe nothing. But I don’t think that what we’ve been taught is… right? I need to keep looking. Something doesn’t add up.

Set in an imagined future in which much of the UK’s coastline has succumb to rising sea levels - this project would explore the impact human-led climate change & an increasingly fragmented socio-political system have on the lives of two children living in the year 2520. 

The main text will take the form of a textbook - supplied by the nation’s central corporation to all school age children. Hidden within this book however are snippets of found text & imagery that reveal a different story to the one that is printed inside…

Part speculative fiction, part social commentary – this work will look to blur the lines between fact, fiction and storytelling. 

Rationing became a necessary measure, ensuring that the countries' limited resources could stretch to everybody. This shared sense of self-sacrifice is partly what the modern British identity is built upon & was a major factor in the swing towards welfare-state socialism in that era that produced such wonders as our NHS.

With no-deal Brexit looming on the horizon and our country more fractured than ever, we could do well to once again tap into that 'Blitz spirit' and come together in the face of whatever may come.

This book will bring together a diverse collection of individual stories from refugees, veterans & others that have survived through difficult life experiences. Here in Southampton, one of the UK's most heavily bombed cities, these stories might help us reflect on the commonalties that exist between us all & could attempt to break down some of the divisions that continue to feed a resurgent right-wing narrative here in the UK.

Investigate the myth of ‘Ralph’s Wife’, a story which influenced the name of a local roads and a bar in the village of Banks. Had Ralph been a smuggler or a fisherman? Research the origin of the myth and its significance to local culture historically, at present and possible future adaptations of the story.

Idea 2 The Village of Banks

Investigate the local community of farming and shrimping. Take a look at the evolution of equipment used like primitive horse pulled ploughs, steam engines and the development of complex machinery with many times more efficient processes that are in place today. Agriculture and Fishing are seen as a heritage being passed down generation after generation through family, land and locality.

Idea 3 Southport Seaside Resort Decline

Southport and its decline from the Seaside resort that it once was. Southport had once been a thriving tourist place in the past and is said to of inspired the tree lined boulevards of Paris. Napoleon III had lived locally before he orchestrated the construction of the French capital. Southport is originally a Victorian town and features one of the oldest and longest iron piers in the country. Although the town is still a very nice place to live it has since lost much of its attraction to nearby places like Blackpool and Liverpool.
