Today’s episode comes from our vault, and it is one for fans of royalty. We recorded this conversation with fourth year history student Gavin Watson last spring. Gavin found himself writing a paper on the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II when the Queen passed away in the fall of 2022. Gavin’s research examines the controversial choice to televise the coronation ceremony and the impact it had on the public in Britain and across the Commonwealth.
Gavin’s paper was published in the History department’s undergraduate journal, The General in spring 2023.
