My name is Jude and I work for WEA (Workers Educational Association), alongside a range of independent community arts and heritage projects.

My PhD was about vernacular and popular culture and the construction of identity in North East England, particularly in relation to the folk music revival between 1950 and 1975. Within the WEA, I have run a range of history projects funded by, among others, National Lottery Heritage Fund about adult education and its social justice impacts during and after World War I.

I'm also a practising Musician and community choir leader with an interest in the role of music in community development and general wellbeing.
