English department student received A on Master’s thesis

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to Lewis Fletcher, who has just received an A on his master’s thesis.

Lewis’s work looked at voice, authority and audionarratology in recent investigative podcasts, including Serial, S-Town, The Polybius Conspiracy and Dirty John.

The external examiner wrote that Lewis’s “analysis is detailed and far-reaching”, and that it was “a very strong thesis that covers a lot of ground”.

The other examiner noted that the “thesis was a pleasure to read for the subject matter, but also for strength and flow of the writing, and the way it brings together analysis and argument”.

This is a great outcome – well done Lewis on your hard work and this excellent, much-deserved result. Ngā mihi nui ki a koe!
