Professor Pamela Cox
Translating History for
Television
Monday 1 December 2014, 6.00-7.30pm
Lakeside Theatre (Colchester)
Television history works
hard to win mass audiences by combining pacey journeys through rich visual
locations with the discovery of new artefacts and the telling of emotive
stories. Professor Cox draws on her two recent BBC series to explore what is
gained as well as lost in translating historical research for TV.
Part of the University’s Professorial Inaugural Lecture Series, a
programme of special events throughout the year celebrating excellence in
research undertaken by our recently appointed professors. Themes explored in
this year’s series include translating history for television; women’s role in
peace and conflict; optimisation, the science of getting the best out of our
resources; the Afro-Brazilian artform, Capoeira; and literature, home and
homecoming.
