One of the public engagement projects funded by the Understanding Unbelief programme led by Dr Lois Lee, Research Fellow in the Department of Religious Studies, featured in the British Library’s (BL) Sound and Vision blog this week, part of the project undertaken by Paul Merchant on ‘Unbelief in Life Story Interviews’.
The article focuses on the BBC’s Millennium Oral History project, which recorded an interview with an 11-year-old girl describing her atheism in 1999.
‘The clip is engaging not just because the interviewee is charmingly open and positive,’ explains Paul in the post, ‘it is also because it seems to wake us up from a strange dream in which the only people who talk about atheism are rather senior, male intellectuals of one sort or another.’
