Dr Debra Ramsay (University of Exeter) – American Media and the Memory of World War II
Dr Debra Ramsay is a Lecturer in Film Studies in the Department of English and Film at Exeter. Her research interests lie in investigating the relationship between war, memory and media.
The lectures are open to all students from Year 10 to Year 13 at Truro High. If girls would like to join one of the talks or many, please email our Head of Humanities and Enterprise, Mr George Ford, at gford@trurohigh.co.uk and he will add them to the Team.
Launched last term, the society aims to explore intriguing, thought-provoking and diverse subjects that lie outside the school curriculum, drawing on the expertise and verve of guest speakers. When the school can fully open and restrictions permit, the society will also offer students trips and visits to events and places of cultural interest.
Students are encouraged to take the lead in the subjects covered by the society and are welcome to put forward suggestions for possible lectures and visits.
