This talk by AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Student, Adele Kramber (University of Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, BBC Scotland), will examine the early years of schools radio broadcasting.
About Festival of Broadcasting: Listen And Learn: Schools Radio In Scotland
From 1924 until the 1990s, the BBC researched, produced, and transmitted radio broadcasts to primary and secondary school classrooms.
Broadcasts were used to structure lessons about, and tell stories of, Scotland, using voices and sounds from across the nation. As young radio-listeners, school pupils were encouraged to understand Scotland’s past and present, and its place in the world, through differing subjects on the curriculum.
This talk by AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Student, Adele Kramber (University of Edinburgh, National Library of Scotland, BBC Scotland), will examine the early years of schools radio broadcasting, outlining the organisational authorities that undertook this ambitious project, the technological infrastructure required to transmit lessons to urban and rural students, and the configuration of the classroom as a sonic space where children received instruction not only from their teacher but also from a disembodied voice.
