How did radio connect up the world during the twentieth century?
This research network, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, is tracing the role played by wireless in forging links between different countries, from the pioneering experiments of the interwar years, to the radio propaganda of the Second World War and the Cold War, and the contemporary history of international broadcasting in a world of new media.
The network brings together radio historians from Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany and the United States, and will host a series of workshops that will link up with scholars in other countries too.
