The Archers - research paper mock-up

Academics from Brighton, Liverpool and Stirling have put out a call for papers on the subject of The Archers in Fact and Fiction. 

The deadline for submissions is 16th November 2015, and a seminar will take place in London on 17th February 2016. 

To spark your imagination, they've offered a few possible topics, including:

  • The statistical probability of no Ambridge residents listening to Radio 4 at 2:00pm or 7:00pm
  • A cultural analysis of Archers fandom
  • A sociological analysis of class dynamics in rural Britain through the lives of Archers
