Project Myopia - Jackie Kay's 'The Lamplighter': Tuning into History

This is an article I wrote for Project Myopia exploring the importance of Jackie Kay's The Lamplighter, with an original illustration. Project Myopia is a programme committed to expanding curriculum. They are 'devoted to diversifying university curricula through crowdsourcing material from students, revolutionising the way that curricula are designed. We plan to display regular submissions of material (visual, literary, cinematic, musical etc) students feel their curricula would benefit from, focused on increasing diversity. We want more LGBTQ options, more works created by women, non-binary people, differently abled people and people of colour.'
