Reflecting on "Is a Person a Place?" from IATL to BCUR

Wed, 27 May 2026 13:12:00 GMT

Making the animation was one of the most rewarding parts of my degree so far, as it brought together academic research with something deeply personal...presenting at BCUR was a particularly special experience. I was nervous as it was a creative presentation, and I felt quite exposed, but the audience's reaction was overwhelmingly positive'
