Option C

Birmingham

Solution :

The correct option is Birmingham.


Stuart Hall was a Jamaican-born British Marxist sociologist, cultural theorist, and political activist. He is widely recognized as one of the founding figures of the school of thought known as British Cultural Studies, or more specifically, the Birmingham School of Cultural Studies.


In 1964, Hall joined the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Birmingham, which was founded by Richard Hoggart. Hall later served as the director of the Centre from 1969 to 1979. Under his leadership, the Birmingham School played a pivotal role in expanding the scope of cultural studies to deal with race and gender, alongside class, and in incorporating new ideas derived from continental theorists like Michel Foucault, Louis Althusser, and Antonio Gramsci.
