Box Office Bears #1: a new research project on animal-baiting

Box Office Bears: Animal-Baiting in Early Modern England is a new Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded project that begins today. In our first film for the project, its lead researchers – Hannah O’Regan, Greger Larson and Andy Kesson – have a preliminary conversation about what animal-baiting is, and what it means to work across the fields of archaeology, DNA analysis and theatre history in order to understand it.

This film also starts a week of wrestling-related films. Check back on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for the Wrestling Resurgence research and production team and the wrestler Chuck Mambo!
