This episode I’m in conversation with past journal author Imogen Birkett about her paper: Literature in Politics: The Appropriation of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four in contemporary British parliamentary debate. We discuss the invoking of Orwell’s work within contemporary political speech, from a literature perspective. We look as well at some of themes ripe for further development within Imogen’s piece, specially as it relates to social media discourse. Naturally, we also touch on words of advice for graduate and early career researchers approaching their first journal articles.
