Thoughts?

I've started adding some more information and references. I think the CCCS is notable and significant, especially given its role in launching cultural studies. Let's clean it up and get it in better shape. Next, I'll tackle the "Noted staff members" section. IshtayaKulah (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:57, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tidied up the members/associates of the Centre and also rewrote the "Closure" section for tone. IshtayaKulah (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't realized how minimal the coverage of the topic of this article was as a school of thought. It seems to me that there are opportunities to expand it, using sources like this one. Newimpartial (talk) 23:56, 16 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Second thoughts - perhaps it would be better to create content on the school of thought at
  The Birmingham School in place of the redirect, then create a top-of-page disambiguation for each article. That would leave this as the article about the institution and The Birmingham School as the article about the school of thought, which is probably a cleaner arrangement.
