On Wednesday 29 February, the Narrative Research Group hosted an event to mark the launch of Real Lives, Celebrity Stories, edited by Julia Round and Bronwen Thomas. The book features contributions from several colleagues in the Media School, and considers how ordinary and extraordinary people are represented across a wide range of contemporary media. At the event, contributors including Peri Bradley, Shaun Kimber and Sue Thomas talked about their chapters, and the editors provided an overview of the book, detailing its progress from its inception at a BU symposium in 2010, to publication in January of this year.
