In Memory of Professor Roger Silverstone
Roger Silverstone, head of this department, died suddenly and unexpectedly earlier this month at the untimely age of 61. His death is a tremendous loss to scholarship as he was at the peak of his form, but it was also a great blow to those of us who worked with him and benefited not just from his wisdom but also from his generosity of spirit and good humour. The department has now produced a memorial website which includes tributes from many of us and those who knew him from across the world (you can still add your own memories by emailing tributes@lse.ac.uk).
