Conversations with Anne.

This is a collection of thoughts about and for Anne Turvey, written by current members of the English Education Team at the Institute of Education. To that extent, we are all her intellectual and professional heirs, although we stand in a variety of relations to her, and know her variously as PGCE and MA tutor, colleague, mentor and friend. It was one of Anne's superpowers to be able to blur the edges of such roles, often to collapse them altogether and her ability to fuse the social and the academic is a strong theme. The writers are all women and Anne's role as a crucial audience for our conversation, ideas and writing, is very clear. Prompted by the kind of stories Anne loved and championed through her work, each of us includes some of her memorable 'sayings' that carry so much enthusiasm for probing the comedy and curiosity of the world.
