We are pleased to announce that Alan Butler officially started his research at the University of Plymouth today. The collaborative doctoral project is sponsored by Plymouth Pride Forum as part of the Pride in Our Past project, and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC).
Alan will be working as part of the Theatre and Performing Arts department on a thesis entitled
“Performing LGBT Pride in Plymouth 1950 – 2000”.
Alan will also be supported by the Plymouth and West Devon Records Office and will provide more material for both the archive and the exhibition.
He will be working closely with Helen the recently appointed coordinator providing direction and guidance for the volunteers working to ‘Set the Record Straight‘ in Plymouth.
