Reflecting on "Is a Person a Place?" from IATL to BCUR
IATL module Global Connections student Vivienne Ponsford created a stop motion animation exploring the question "Is a person a place?" and was supported by IATL to present at BCUR 2026, University of Glasgow. Making the animation was one of the most rewarding parts of my degree so far, as it brought together academic research with something deeply personal...presenting at BCUR was a particularly special experience. I was nervous as it was a creative presentation, and I felt quite exposed, but the audience's reaction was overwhelmingly positive'
