Please welcome to the fireside James Jefferies (@jamesjhistory), a PhD researcher studying at the University of Essex. James discusses his ongoing doctoral project, which focuses on the Second World War "in the air," as depicted by popular culture sources. From video games where you get to play an RAF pilot, to smash-hit films like Dunkirk or the Battle of Britain, James covers it all! Importantly, he explains how these popular culture sources inform our understanding of history, myth, and memory. As always, stay curious, stay cozy.
