Our latest exhibition, 'The Uses of Literacy' revisited! Young people in Rotherham reimagine the future, showcases the outcomes of two University of Sheffield research projects: the ‘Imagine’ project led by Professor Kate Pahl from the School of Education, specifically a community-led collaborative research project in Rotherham with a focus on reading, writing and creativity in community contexts; and the Grimm & Co. literacy charity, also based in Rotherham and supported by the research of Professor Jane Hodson of the School of English. The exhibition also draws on the archive of Richard Hoggart, author of ‘The Uses of Literacy’, which is held by the University of Sheffield Library, and highlights his thinking on literacy in everyday life, an important element in the two research projects.
