Brummie of the Year 2019 - Stephen Duffy
Jon BoundsPosted on November 7, 2019 Posted in folk heroes, identity This is the tenth Brummie of the Year award, first awarded in 2003 by the then Birmingham: It’s Not Shit. Past winners and nominees have included UB40 saxophonist Brian Travers, itinerant blues guitarist Charlie Mitton, and escaping red panda Babu.

why Brum's edgelands are the hottest place for new tech start-ups, on Paradise Circus: A Birmingham Miscellany
As Digbeth’s Silicon Canal flows slowly to the self-operated lock of recuperation, Jeyklan Hyde investigates new disruptive businesses and collectives coming out of the edgelands of Brum. From her hub of a boutique flat-roofed pub, she meets Brumtreprenuers taking traditionally working class culture and adding that 5G spin… Birmingham’s social media scene, oh yes, you heard of it about ten years ago, and then nothing happened.

Ten things someone else knows about crowdfunding
I’m interested in crowdfunding in all its guises, shapes and sizes and am keen to quiz people about their experience of using it for journalism when I get the chance. I’ve already posted here about the things I learned in 2014, but now I’m sharing someone else’s experiences – Jon Hickman’s in fact. Jon is a senior lecturer at Birmingham School of Media and a member of the Birmingham Centre for Media & Cultural Research.

The benefits of using BSL with all pupils I have been using British Sign Language (BSL) as a visual learning tool in my science classes for the past year. As a kinaesthetic process, it is an excellent way for visual and tactile learners to reinforce key concepts. The majority of signs are very logical and can be used as part of a sequence of vocabulary – such as cell, nucleus, cell wall and cell membrane.
