ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
There are certain people who I have always thanked throughout my career and will continue to do so because I must never forget the support and opportunities they gave me academically. Those people are Rob Stanley from my college days, followed by Paul Mason and Justin Lewis who supported me at Cardiff University throughout my journey from BA to Ph.D. Further thanks to John Jewell, Bob Franklin, and Karin WahlJorgensen for their shared interests and input in my research. I always value the priceless insights and critiques I receive from those former colleagues for whom I have enormous respect. I would also like to thank my current colleagues at Newcastle University, particularly in Media, Culture, Heritage (MCH), who I have the pleasure of leading as Head of Section. It is truly inspiring to work in such a vibrant and positive research and teaching environment with so many world-class scholars. I must specifically thank Katy McDonald, Gareth Longstaff, Rhiannon Mason, and Karen Ross for their recent support, which has given me the research time and space to finish this p
