For over 100 years, Hollywood has provided the majority of films shown on British screens. Hollywood films have been so numerous, and so popular, that for most Britons they are not regarded as foreign films but as normal and everyday viewing.  Hollywood and the Americanization of Britain, written by Dr Mark Glancy from Queen Mary University of London, is the first book to take a wide-ranging view of this phenomenon. Dr Glancy explores the impact and influence that Hollywood films have had in Britain, and the extent to which their American qualities have been regarded as appealing or alienating.   Through his investigation of the reception of films ranging from Gone with the Wind to Grease, he considers the tastes and preferences of British audiences from the silent era to the present day.  Listen to Dr Glancy talking to Sam Philpott about his new book.

Queen Mary students have been working on projects that explore and celebrate Queen Mary’s heritage. This podcast and all content in it has been produced by our students Mary Rosa Tooley and Hamish Hutchison-Poyntz.



Hey there! 

Welcome to Storied Spaces: Secrets of Queen Mary, a podcast where we explore some of the fascinating tales that are contained within the campuses of the modern day Queen Mary University of London, and the institutions that form it.

Throughout our episodes, we’ll be taking you on tours through Queen Mary’s Campuses, which include: Mile End & Queen Mary College; Mile End & Westfield College; Barts Hospital; and The Royal London at Whitechapel. 

This podcast was commissioned by Queen Mary, University of London, in celebration of the 2023 Founder’s Day event. It was written, researched and produced by Hamish Hutchison-Poyntz and Mary Tooley.

Today, we’ll explore the history of St Bartholomew’s Hospital at West Smithfield Campus. St Barts has an extensive and rich history, involving King Henry VIII, William Wallace, and Sherlock Holmes, to name a few famous characters in both history and fiction. You’ll hear all about them in this episode.

St Barts Hospital was founded in 1123 and has provided patient care for longer than any other hospital in England. To this day, many renowned medical research institutes, residences, cafes, and study and social spaces reside on this campus.

Our tour starts at St Bartholomew’s Gatehouse on West Smithfield. Here, our first story begins.

CONTENT WARNING

Content warning: this episode contains descriptions of medically-displayed human remains and organs, disease, dissection results and post-mortem pathology reports, medieval torture and execution methods, outdated medical practices, and allusion to faked fictional suicide.

Today, we’ll explore the history of Westfield college, and the ways it’s shaped the campus here at Mile End. Westfield was originally located in Hampstead, where it was the first college aiming to educate women for University of London degrees from its opening. It merged with Queen Mary college in 1989, and while the Hampstead campus is no longer active, we can still feel Westfield’s impact here at Mile End today.

Our tour starts at the Queen’s Building, located on Mile End Road just behind the clocktower. It’s a large, ornate building with pillars decorating the front entrance. Here, our first story begins.

Today, the Mile End campus is the primary home of staff and students in many of the humanities, social sciences, science and engineering departments. Beyond these, however, it contains many stories of the area’s heritage, hidden just below its surface.

Our tour starts at the lock-keeper’s cottage, on Westfield Way. If you’re continuing on from our Westfield tour, this is just south of Maynard House. Here, our first story begins.

The inaugural lecture of Professor Alastair Owens, held in October 2017 at the V&A Museum of Childhood.

How do the wealthy maintain their prosperity and status? How do they transmit property and assets to future generations? This inaugural lecture will examine the way that Victorian and Edwardian families passed on their wealth at death. In exploring middle-class inheritance, it will develop a wider argument about the significance of ‘wealthfare’ in understanding longer term patterns of social change and inequality in Britain. The concept of ‘wealthfare’ not only directs attention to the practices of property transmission that individuals and families engaged in, it also encompasses the wider institutional and state supports – such as the law, fiscal incentives, and financial protection – that underpinned wealth accumulation and enabled wealthy people to provide for themselves. Using the example of inheritance, the lecture aims to illustrate the value of ‘wealthfare’ as a framework for understanding the unequal relationships between people, private property and the state in modern Britain.

The sustained assaults on universities and schools in Kashmir, the long-standing discrimination against Dalits and minorities at Indian universities, and the recent armed attacks on students and faculty at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Millia Islamia and Aligarh Muslim University in India all draw attention to the way in which questions of knowledge—its production and dissemination—are fundamentally, and violently, imbricated with the project of Indian, and particularly Hindu, nationalism.

The assault on public university students is part of the battle over categories such as nation, borders, autonomy, and more recently citizenship. In addition to incursions on institutions of knowledge and their patrons – which range from physical violence to efforts to delegitimise opposing views by constructing them as ‘anti-national’ – Hindutva organisations such as the RSS, as well as its networks and adherents in Western academic contexts, also aim to promote intellectual work and academic knowledge that aligns with their political ideology.

This panel will discuss the role played by pedagogy and knowledge production in the Hindu nationalist project, as well as the forms of learning, knowledge, and organising that are seen as threats to it, and then met with violence. In doing so, it will place the recent and widely discussed attacks on Indian university students within the long history of India’s military occupations, and everyday violence against minorities in India, and against the people of Jammu and Kashmir.

Compared to the Nazis' treatment of Jews, Sinti and Roma, LGBTQ+ and disabled people, we know very little about the experiences of Black people in Germany under the Nazi regime (1933–1945). Were they treated differently to other groups, and if so, why? This podcast with Joseph Cronin from Queen Mary's Department of History focuses on the history of Black people in Germany and the ways in which Black Germans coped with the unique situation they faced in Hitler's 'racial state'.
