Julian Hector - The Role of the Media
|
|
Monday 25th May, 2009, 7.30 p,m,
Julian Hector is the Head of Radio at the BBC’s Natural History Unit in Bristol, responsible for the highest quality natural history radio productions in the world. He is ideally placed, therefore, to help us understand the role played by the media in our 21st century understanding of the environment and the natural world.
With excellent film and sound clips to illustrate his presentation Julian considered some of the opportunities and some of the difficulties of presenting the natural world in film and radio.
Julian has worked in the BBC Natural History Unit (NHU) as a producer since 1992, first as a radio producer and then TV producer, then in 1999 he took on the role of Editor of NHU radio. Prior to working for the BBC Julian was a Senior Lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University having spent 18 months each at the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust and Bristol Zoo's Education Departments. He graduated in Zoology from Bristol University in 1981 and immediately joined the British Antarctic Survey as a seabird ecologist. He was awarded his Ph.D in 1985 from Bristol University.
Among his many productions at the BBC have been the superb ‘World On The Move’ and an upcoming series of monologues by the voice of Natural History, David Attenborough.
He is married to Mary Colwell, who is a frequent guest at the Centre and who led an afternoon workshop earlier the same day. |
