RACE IN LIVERPOOL
Liverpool is home to one of the oldest Black communities in Britain and has long been a place where racial issues have dominated local politics. A new ethnographic study looks at the history of these issues, exploring the notion that to understand local Black identity it is important to understand first what it means to be born in Liverpool
Laurie Taylor talks to Jacqueline Nassy Brown, Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Hunter College, City University of New York about her new book Dropping Anchor, Setting Sail: Geographies of Race in Black Liverpool. They discuss the clashing constructions of 'Liverpool' and the impact that these constructions have on local identity.
CHILDREN and BRANDING
Last week at a seminar for the ESRC social sciences Dr Agnes Nairn, Senior Lecture at the School of Management, University of Bath presented her co-authored paper Busted Rocks but Barbie's a Minger . It is the first part in a bigger project on the role of brands on junior school which Dr Nairn is co-researching with psychologist Dr Christine Griffen from the University of Bath.
Laurie Taylor is joined by Dr Agnes Nairn to discuss the report's findings on the ways in which advertised brands are enmeshed in the everyday lives of 7-11 year olds. Should parents and teachers be concerned about the influence of brands on children and particularly the ways in which children use them as markers of identity?
