Abstract:

'The Story of Children's Television, 1946 to Today": Public Engagement and Impact Through Television History'

In this presentation I will elaborate on the development and planning of the recent exhibition at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry: 'The Story of Children's Television, 1946 to Today.' The exhibition was planned from the start to produce engagement and impact, and the talk will explore the ways in which this was acheived, in the lead-up to the exhibition, during its stay in Coventry and as it tours the country until 2018. The talk will explore the distinctions between engagement and impact, the value of media history within the humanities for enabling researchers and universities to achieve this, as well as the difficulties of building it into research.

This will be followed by a discussion about creative approaches to research impact, particularly for media history research.
