Understanding Media Production
Grace Under Pressure: A drama-based approach to tackling mistreatment of medical students
A positive and respectful learning environment is fundamental to the development of professional identities in healthcare. Yet medical students report poor behaviour from healthcare professionals that contradict professionalism teaching. An interdisciplinary group designed and implemented a drama-based workshop series, based on applied theatre techniques, to help students develop positive professional qualities and interpersonal skills to deal wi…
Understanding media production: A rejoinder to Murdock and Golding
This article is a rejoinder to Murdock and Golding’s response to my critique of the political economy of communications (PEC) analysis of media production. This article sets this exchange in the context of a broader debate in recent editions of Media, Culture & Society about the value of PEC. Much of the debate stems from Garnham’s critical review of 40 years of PEC research

In 1986 my university tutor mentioned in passing a political theatre person who had written a book that was worth reading. I went to our library and flipped through endless card indexes until I cam
Making bodies talk in Forum Theatre
Most Forum Theatre practice encourages as many ‘spect‐actors’ as possible to intervene directly on stage as part of the investigation of an oppressive social situation. Such practice is in line with Boal's advice (in Games for actors and non‐actors) that ‘the keener the desire to take action, the more the spect‐actors hurry on to the stage’. While it is certainly understandable that jokers should seek to maintain interest by encouraging frequent …
