Learning on ScreenOldest Geordie, The: Environmental History of the River Tyne
- Synopsis
- Historian Leona Skelton, a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant at the University of Bristol, presents this look at the extent to which people have shaped the River Tyne. Skelton’s project challenges us to see things from the river’s perspective and to include in our river histories the flow pathways which rivers ‘wanted’ to follow, regardless of the changes that humans have forged upon the river, challenging us to look at a river as an historical actor with its own agency.
