It was a pleasure working with everyone at the @SWWSummerFest committee! These past few days in Aber have been the perfect culmination of the work done by the committee and it was lovely to learn more about the incredible range of research done by @SWWDTP students 💜

We’d like to say a huge thank you and congratulations to the wonderful @SWWSummerFest organising committee - comprised of our extremely talented SWWDTP students @martibiavati @BethanySummerf1 @KatyHUMS @AmberFloodDTP and Jessica Coughtrey. You’ve done an incredible job👏👏👏👏 .

A big pleasure to be able to introduce AD in China. Thank you for having me @SWWDTP 🥰

A dazzling time... Thank you @SWWSummerFest 🌊🪨🦐

And that’s a wrap on the @SWWDTP Summer Research Festival 2023. Thank you so much to all those who attended both in person and online. We'd like to express our gratitude to all the work put in by the speakers who presented. Really impressive work and effort from everyone!🎉🎉

Thank you so much to the final panelists of the Summer Research Festival! ✨ What a way to finish. Well done to everyone!!

Our final speaker of the day was Lily Holland who provided a paper titled ‘Janelle Monáe and Mediated Memory’ which included some really enjoyable clips from their music. The observations on the film style and how it captured their performance and memory were excellent! Bravo 👏

The wonderful Zi Ye got us started on the 'Expressing memory and identity in media' panel with her presentation on ‘Audio-Described films as a way for visually Impaired Persons to Participate in Collective Memory’. Fascinating work, well done 👏 @SWWDTP

Really insightful conversation on the etymological origins of the word 'queer' and how we can all bring queer studies in to our research as scholars. Thank you so much to the Queer Studies Panel 🌈✨

It's day 3 and the Queer Studies Cluster are starting us off with their roundtable discussion on 'Queering memory'. Please join in at home if you have registered 😁

Thank you @KaelynApple for sharing both your personal and professional journey! What a way to wrap up our first day. It got everyone thinking about how scholars can enrich the digital space. ✨✨
