Dear all on both JISC mail discussions list,
For interest: I am chairing a session at the Social History Society annual
conference next week in Glasgow on MO (much of it based on material
collected since 1981, ie via the Mass Observation Project). It's too late
(I imagine) to apply to attend but for general interest the papers are
listed below. If you or your colleagues are speaking about or publishing
articles, books or papers on or relating to MO, or on the media please
circulate via these discussion lists.
Hilary Young (Open U): "Mass Observation and children's experiences of
reading in the 1940s and 1950s" working across the phases". Hilary is using
the replies to the Autumn 2003 Directive on people's memories of their
reading as children together with earlier MO material.
Penny Summerfield (Manchester U): "The long ago war looms large in my life:
men, women and the cultural memory of the Second World War, a Mass
Observation Study". Penny is using the replies to the Spring 2009 Directive
on images/memories of the Second World War.
Anne-Marie Kramer (Warwick U): "The Family History boom and identity: from
bloodlines and status distinctions to 'hidden histories' and the archive as
'dream space' ". Anne-Marie is using the replies to the Summer 2008
Directive on doing Family History.
Patricia Cattley (Sussex U): "Mass Observation and memories of the
relationship between aunts and nephews from 1914-2000". Patricia is drawing
on three sets of directive replies: Relatives, friends and neighbours
(Winter 1984), Growing up (Spring 1993) and My Family (Autumn 2000).
