PhD Thesis Available Online

It's been up there for two weeks and no one told me! However, now I know I'm telling everyone. If you want to see what a thesis given an unconditional pass looks like (I'm showing off I know, but indulge me), you can see it on the Sussex Library Database.

If you would rather wait, in another year or so I'll have turned it into a book. Hopefully. But for now at least it's somewhere, and I'm a doctor.

"Grossly Obscene and Primarily Erotic!" Swedish Sex Education in 1970s Britain

Last weekend I gave a paper on the censorship and legal problems around two Swedish sex education films which were released here in the mid-1970s. I came across this story as it involved Jacey cinemas and the Fancey family, both of whom I had been researching.

The paper was part of the Sex and the Cinema conference at the University of Kent. It was an excellent conference and I met some interesting people. I also had very positive feedback, which is always nice. It's also reassuring to see other people's papers and realise that the areas in which I'm researching are also of interest to other academics, and that I'm not misjudging this whole thing.

You can read the paper on my Academia.edu profile here.
