Kate Lacey's research centres on the history and theory of radio and theconnections between broadcasting and other formations of public life. Her current project, 'Listening Publics', aims to amplify the specifically auditory roots of the word 'audience,' a word that combines the experiential with the public aspect of mediated culture. She is the author of Feminine Frequencies: Gender, German Radio and the Public Sphere, 1923-1945 (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1997),and Associate Editor of The Radio Journal: International Studies in Broadcast and Audio Media.

Sherryl Wilson
I am a Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of the West of England and my research interests primarily lie in British and American television and television history. In particular I have interests in the genres of reality television and TV drama through which I engage with a range of cultural issues such as age, gender and ethnicity.
I have been mostly concerned with the ways in which identities of selfhood are constructed but have more recently developing interests in the ways in which the convergence of media and proliferation of multi-platform output for media texts challenges existing notions of the audience and which is displacing the traditional view of television as a domestic medium.
I am involved in an AHRC-funded research project that will examine the degree to which broadcast media output and media policy reflected the Thatcherite proposition that ‘there is no such thing as society’ during the 1980s. I have written and published material on TV talk shows such as Oprah Winfrey, Trisha as well TV drama such as Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under.

His work is frequently to be heard on BBC Radios 3 and 4, as well as internationally on CBC in Canada, and on Public Service Networks across the US.

Hugh Chignell
Associate Professor of Broadcasting History, Bournemouth University, UK
My teaching and research focus on the neglected medium of radio. Over the last 10 years I have studied the history of speech radio in particular while also teaching on the MA in Radio Production at Bournemouth of which I am programme leader. I recently completed a new theoretical text, Key Concepts in Radio Studies and I am now preparing what I hope will become the definitive history of current affairs radio in the UK. As a member of the Centre for Broadcasting History Research I am involved in the JISC funded project to digitise the LBC/IRN archive and I also supervise a number of PhDs in the field of media history.
I am also partly responsible for the ITA/IBA Archive which recently moved to Bournemouth University. For some time I have been on the editorial board of The Radio Journal for which I am also the Reviews Editor.
