80th Anniversary Honorary & Professorial Public Lecture Series
July 1st, 2010 | 
Author: Building a University: a history of architecture and education
Linda Polley, Wednesday 7 July 2010
6.30pm – 7.45pm, Teesside University, Middlesbrough
About the Speaker
Linda is a senior lecturer in history in the School of Arts & Media and specialises in modern urban and social history including 18th- and 19th- century urbanisation and the development of mass consumption.
Linda undertook our MA Local History and it was that experience which taught her about Middlesbrough and also, she believes, made her into a local historian. Her postgraduate work on Middlesbrough’s Victorian suburbs became an exhibition at the Dorman Museum, and she continues to write and talk about the various buildings and building types that we find all around us.
Lecture Content
In this our 80th anniversary year, Linda will examine the architectural history of the University Campus in Middlesbrough. This visual presentation will seek to showcase Teesside University with its architectural history, which includes some of the finest examples of their type and time.

Friday 04th June, 2010
Blind Eye, a film written and directed by Laura Degnan and produced by RS Productions, has been accepted into the Palm Springs International Shortfest.
The film, made as part of Northern Film & Media’s Stingers scheme stars Liz White as a young mother who is torn between being a good citizen and protecting her child when a fight breaks out on a bus.
The Palm Springs International ShortFest runs from 22 – 28 June and will present more than 300 short films from over 40 countries. The festival is one of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences qualifiers for the best short at the Oscars.
Laura says of the film’s acceptance, “We’re thrilled that Blind Eye has been selected to play at the Palm Springs Shortfest – that’s basically Hollywood, right?? We’re really proud of the film and this opportunity to show it to a large audience means a lot to us. Thank you to NFM and the Film Council for all your support getting us there!”
Agnes Wilkie, Creative Industry Director at Northern Film & Media says, “It is wonderful news that Blind Eye has been accepted into such a prestigious and renowned festival. Our Stingers short film scheme aims to act as a platform for new and emerging talent in the North East, and to take that talent to a wider audience. We are delighted that Laura has been given an international arena to showcase her work and we wish her the best of luck in the festival.”
