SUMMARY:Typing in tongues: British Academy Summer Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Congratulations to Vaibhav Singh who has been selected to participate in the British Academy Summer Showcase. \nHis (now virtual) exhibit at the British Academy’s Summer Showcase 2020 explores the intersection of technology and textual communication. It focuses on the interfaces and mechanical formulations that have given visual and material form to languages around the world. Have you ever wondered why the keyboard is arranged ‘qwerty…’? Or indeed why a keyboard is associated with text-input in the first place? What did mechanical devices for different writing systems around the world look like\, how did they function? We invite you to join us in exploring these and other related questions. Take a look at an eclectic set of writing machines\, learn about the encounters of Asian writing systems with alphabetic frameworks and technological infrastructure. Consider old and new variants of typing\, text input\, and related challenges – and much more – in this showcase that foregrounds the very tools that have transformed the written word over the last hundred and fifty years. \nTune in from 11:10 on Saturday 20 June to the British Academy YouTube channel

SUMMARY:Publishing Class: online talk with Prof Katy Shaw\, Philip Jones and Lisa Blower
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this talk on class in contemporary publishing with Professor Katy Shaw (Northumbria University)\, Philip Jones (editor of The Booksller) and author Lisa Blower. \nBreaking the class ceiling in UK Publishing\nThe under-representation of British working-class writers in UK publishing has been identified as a major social and economic challenge by major publishers and the British government. In 2018 Arts Council England funded the first ever writing development programme aimed at redressing the balance for working-class writers. This talk evaluates the impact of this unique initiative on both creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on wider industry awareness of the presence and impact of the class ceiling in UK publishing. It assesses for the first time the impact of a targeted class-based writing development programme on creatives and the creative industries in the UK\, as well as on professional awareness of the challenge posed by the class ceiling in the wider UK creative industries today\, and proposes new initiatives and recommendations arising from the research through implications for writers\, readers and the future sustainability of British publishing in a post-Brexit context. \nAccess the Common People: Breaking the class ceiling in UK Publishing report (2020) \nProfessor Katy Shaw leads research into twenty-first century writings at Northumbria University.
