Your university years are an age of discovery. A place to find your new favourite…well, everything, really. With this in mind, we asked Edge Hill’s academics what they were reading? What they were watching? And sometimes, why? If you’ve ever sat in lectures wondering about your tutor’s origin story, this is the place to start. Our influences inform our identity. They become part of our DNA.

So if you’ve ever wondered whether your tutor is a Swiftie for life or a committed Dylanologist, a Corrie addict or fascinated by Chinese historical drama-thons, this is as good a place as any to start.
