The quantitative expression of LDH A was studied in hemolysates from four patients with different but overlapping interstitial deletions of the short arm of chromosome 11. Deficiency of LDH A was demonstrated in one patient, and the LDH A locus has been assigned to that segment of lip for which this patient alone was deficient, i.e., to band llpl2 (region 11p1203→11p1208).

In this article we explore the ways in which universities and communities can work together drawing on our experience of a community-university co-produced project called ‘Imagine’. We reflect on our different experiences of working together and affectively co-produce the article, drawing on a conversation we held together. We locate our discussion within the projects we worked on. We look at the experiences of working across community and university and affectively explore these. We explore the following key questions: How do we work with complexity and difference?Who holds the power in research?What kinds of methods surface hidden voices?How can we co-create equitable research spaces together?What did working together feel like? Our co-writing process surfaces some of these tensions and difficulties as we struggle to place our voices into an academic article. We surface more of our own tensions and voices and this has become one of the dominant experiences of doing co-produced research. We explore the mechanisms of co-production as being both a process of fusion but also its affective qualities. Our discussions show that community partners working with academics have to bear the emotional labour; by ‘standing in the gap’ they are having to move between community and university. We also recognise the power of community co-writing as a form that can open up an opportunity to speak differently, outside the constraining spaces of academia.

This essay argues that understanding people's lives, emotions and intellectual reasoning is crucial to exploring national identity and that 'the co-production of historical knowledge' provides an approach or methodology that allows for a deeper comprehension of people's self-identities by encouraging a diverse range of people to participate in the research process. We argue that many academic historians have maintained an intellectual detachment between university history and public and community history, to the detriment of furthering historical knowledge. We argue for a blurring of the boundaries between university and communities in exploring modern British history, and especially the history of national identities. It includes extracts of writing from community partners and a brief photographic essay of projects related to exploring identities.Key words: Co-production of research; national identities; communities; public history.The Academy for British and Irish Studies at the University of Huddersfield explores ways in which people identify themselves in relation to the group of islands that lies off the north-west coast of continental Europe. It is a multi-and inter-disciplinary research centre that allows its members to approach research questions relating to national and other identities from a wide variety of methodologies. Because of its catholic and eclectic nature, it has been a conducive atmosphere in which to develop new approaches to historical research.In Britishness since 1870, Paul Ward, one of the founding members of the Academy and co-author of this essay, wrote that 'ordinary people ... played the major part in constructing their own identities' and that due regard needed to be paid in listening to expressions of self-identity in the historical record rather than relying on judgements made by others, often from elite groups in society, to interpret questions of Britishness in the United Kingdom since the late nineteenth century (2000: 4). This was an attempt to consider how to interpret identity not as an academic exercise but as a way of understanding how millions of individuals thought about their social and national context in particular historical circumstances. In his essay on Englishness, written at the start of the Second World War, George Orwell asked 'Are there really such things as nations? Are we not forty-six million individuals, all different?' He answered in the affirmative, suggesting that:
