Stuart Hall

During my research on Western literature within the education system, I have decided to look at Stuart Hall, who moved to England in 1983 to give lectures on culture and what we focus upon within literature. I wanted to look at Hall as I believed that he could offer me insight into someone who has a first-hand experience on my topic and show how he may have influenced how UK citizens view cultures in other countries.

Research on Stuart Hall

This research mainly focuses on Hall's life moving from Jamaica to England and his thoughts on the 'division' between the different classes and cultures that have been established within society, as well as Hall's beliefs on the education system and values within the United Kingdom.

I have used these sources, (from the New Yorker and The Guardian), to look at how Hall changed how people saw 'the study of popular culture', as I believe them to be more reliable sources from trustworthy companies, whilst allowing me to see editors opinions on this topic. This, therefore, allows me to research into a lecturer who has experience on the topic and can offer both sides of the argument to give me two different sides on the topic question. As well as this, by looking at the Stuart Hall Project, it allows me to see the impact that Stuart Hall had, and, in turn, the impact that others can have within the Western education system. I plan to use ideas on Hall to offer a different view into how people from other cultures may see how we are taught and the literature that we are exposed to within the education system.
