Michele Lammas
‘Jenny Lind: For one night only’
Postgraduate student Michele Lammas discusses her research on Jenny Lind with a particular focus on the Swedish soprano’s last UK philanthropic concert in Worcester in 1849. The research examines women and philanthropy in Victorian England while closely scrutinising the legal battles Lind was engaged in and the shifting politics of fundraising via this particular concert. The project hopes to celebrate and in part re-create the concert on its 175th anniversary in 2024 while uncovering the simmering controversy that underpinned the event.

The presentation will be accompanied by a performance of Somerville’s acclaimed spoken word performance, ‘Opera Queen’ previously seen at Feast (Malvern)and Shout (Birmingham) Festivals in 2022.

Maps, mapping and landscape have been fascinations for design lecturer Andy Stevenson since childhood, through study, in professional practice for prominent publishers and now as a central aspect of his PhD research. The research has evolved from developing the ‘emotisurvey’ to examining how recreational walkers engage with the various kinds of assistive navigational materials available today. Andy’s mapping skills are still in demand commercially; he is currently funded to develop the walking and mapping components of the new ‘Worcestershire Rail Trails’ project. This project will use a mix of paper and app-based guide materials to help recreational walkers travel on newly created walking trails between stations in Worcestershire.
