‘My Media and My Inner World’
I was invited by a former student to give the keynote address to a conference inaugurating a research project on ‘Media and the Inner World’. I was flattered to be asked, but when it became time to write a paper I was more or less at a loss, being innocent of high theory in media studies. It finally occurred to me that I was far from bereft of experiences of the media or of my inner world, so I intrepidly set about writing a media autobiography revealing links to my inner world. It was apparent then and since that the story was found interesting and relevant to the aims of the project and the conference, which occurred on 7 March 2009 at Roehampton University, London.
