Nope tealeaf, we found out about gender the practical way. It were much more fun. I don’t think that the word media existed in those days. Comparative cultural studies? Didn’t do that either unless you consider that being a part of geography and a small part of history we were learning comparative cultural studies? But we had a sizable Polish community in Accrington and they integrated with the English without too many problems so we had practical experience as part of the normal day. I can only ever recall seeing just one West Indian and there were no people from the Indian sub continent. Plenty of Irish and from other parts of the UK though.
