She was one of as Fellows of the British Academy on 20 July 2017. Fellows of the British Academy represent the very best of humanities and social sciences research, in the UK and globally.
Angela said: 鈥淚 am thrilled and delighted to be elected as a Fellow of the British Academy. I began my academic career somewhere in the twilight space between English Literature and Sociology with a thesis on girls' magazines.
鈥淐ultural Studies has been my field of choice ever since my time at Birmingham University Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in the mid-1970s, and now for almost 20 years at 牛牛资源. The sustained study of popular vernacular cultures feels as relevant today as it did back in the 1970s. I am honoured to have my research marked by this Fellowship.鈥�
Commenting on the announcement Lord Stern, outgoing President of the British Academy, said: 鈥淭he UK鈥檚 research and innovation sector is one of our nation鈥檚 greatest assets, and its diversity and openness is a strength that makes us a world-leader in research. This year鈥檚 cohort of leading Fellows is a strong illustration.鈥�
