Restored 2001 movie DO NOT GO GENTLE and the Welsh class politics of care

Yes, the interview was originally published as an edited transcript in 2018, long before Wendy Larner had applied her views to Cardiff University. The document linked to in the VC’s all-staff email on Thursday was the final proofs doc, ie after peer review and the VC’s own subsequent edits.
