Forest Writers Mural Project
No full textAs a part of the Reading the Forest project, led by UOG academics Jason Griffiths and Roger Deeks, two public murals have been created that, in a highly visible way, profile six of the authors at the heart of the project: three in East Dean, and three in West Dean. The Reading the Forest project aims to increase public consciousness of the Forest of Dean's literary heritage. The murals were designed by local artist Tom Cousins in close consultation with Jason Griffiths and Roger Deeks, the mural project being managed by Jason Griffiths. Cousins created the design based upon research carried out by Griffiths and Deeks, and through numerous design meetings & discussions with them. The information fliers, made available through local venues, libraries, schools, and tourist information, provide background and context to each of the authors depicted. Research and design for the fliers was carried out by Griffiths, with contribution from Deeks. For each mural a community launch event was staged by Griffiths and Deeks in close consultation with the literary estates & families of the writers concerned, as well as local stakeholders, and local print and broadcast media. The murals, in highly visible locations in two market towns in the Forest, have enhanced the visual environment, and acted as a tangible sign of the areas literary heritage

The History of Wake Forest College, Volume IV, 1943-1967
No full textThe Shaw volume contains much information, although it is not as detailed as the first three books. It is also more readable and wanders less often than the earlier ones. It covers the years of World War II, the admission of female students, the return of the veterans, the decision to move to Winston-Salem, the move itself, and the "fruitful years of the Tribble administration." One reviewer summarized: "Scores of names and dozens of pictures, as well as sections on student life, athletics and departmental histories complete the fabric of life at Wake Forest." A review by Linda Brinson (WFU '69) in the Winston-Salem Journal September 4, 1988, H6 concluded: "Perhaps the greatest strength of Vol. IV is that Shaw does what he states as his purpose in the preface: 'to give the whole picture of the life of the college.'" Wake Forest should be well pleased with this chronicle of the years that did so much to shape its future. Anyone with an interest in the college would find this new history a valuable source of both information and understanding. (J. Edwin Hendricks)Biographical information about the author is available in Linda Brinson, "Gentle Man of the Press," Wake Forest University Magazine, September 2, 2002. p. 46

Fighting for the forests: a history of the Western Australian forest protest movement 1895-2001
No full textAs the first comprehensive study of Western Australian forest protest the thesis analyses the protest movement's organisation, campaigns and strategies. Its central argument is that the contemporary Western Australian forest protest movement established a network of urban and south-west activist groups which encouraged broad public support, and that a diversity of protest strategies focused public attention on forest issues and pressured the state government to change its forest policies. The forest protest movement was characterised by its ability to continually adapt its organisation and strategies to changing social and political conditions. This flexible approach to protest not only led to victories in the Shannon River Basin, Lane-Poole Reserve and old growth forest campaigns, but also transformed forest protest into an influential social movement which contributed to the downfall of the Court Liberal Government in 2001
A Fortunate Man remembered...50 Years On
No full textAdopting a public history approach, this community exhibition, screenings, talks, and participative research explored the book A Fortunate Man. Published in 1967 the book became recommended reading for trainee General medical Practitioners. It explores the relationship between a rural doctor and his patients and is an intense, probing analysis of the doctor – "Dr John Sassal" in particular – but also the role of the GP more widely in society. It's author was painter, critic and Marxist intellectual John Berger, in collaboration with Swiss documentary photographer Jean Mohr. The doctor was based on Berger’s friend and own GP Dr John Eskell and his practice in and around the Forest of Dean village of St Briavels. Widely praised (though not without some criticism) since its publication, in 2015 the book featured at a Royal College of Art conference celebrating Berger’s diverse and prodigious career. As the panel of doctors discussed the book, one aspect was starkly absent: the people and landscape of the Forest of Dean, the setting for the book. In a weekend of events in June 2018 the University of Gloucestershire’s Reading the Forest project, in partnership with Forest of Dean Local History Society and the villagers of St Briavels, addressed this as A Fortunate Man Revisited, 50 Years On examined the book firmly from the perspective of the real community (St Briavels) and Dr Eskell at the centre of it. What did the book say about the village, and wider Forest of Dean, of the 1960’s? How did it describe the people? What picture did it paint of the real-life Dr Eskell? How accurate is Berger’s depiction and analysis? The weekend included exhibition, talks, discussions and guided walks, as well as screening of films: the 1967 feature on the book filmed locally for BBC TV New Release arts programme; a 1972 BFI-funded docu-drama by Jeff perks filmed in Blakeney and Soudley featuring performances by local people; and cine films from the late 1950s of village life made by Dr Eskell himself
