Fantastic PGR/ECR workshop this morning exploring public engagement, framing research and accessibility, and engaging with media by the excellent @jen-studies-death.bsky.social @renasha.bsky.social @robb-s.bsky.social

From family film franchise to international meme(nto mori) – where isn’t Paddington these days? 🐻🍊
In our new article (free at tinyurl.com/bdtftub3) @matthewhilborn.bsky.social and I get to grips with Paddington Bear, arguing that Britain’s softest symbol may actually be its sharpest.
