Creative Interruptions: Developing Best Practice in Community-Based Research on Partition
Nov 18 2017, Conference Room 2, TIC Building, University of Strathclyde
This workshop is part of the AHRC project, Creative Interruptions: Grassroots creativity, state structures and disconnection as a space for ‘radical openness’ (http://creativeinterruptions.com/).
The workshop is designed to foster a focussed discussion around
issues of community-based research with, and around, lives that have been
impacted by Partition. Looking beyond traditional historiographies of Partition
in South Asia, this workshop considers the global dimensions of Partition
through comparative contexts (Ireland and Palestine) and comparative issues
(migrant communities in the UK) in order to expand and diversify the archive of
Partition history and knowledge. With a focus on using creative and
participatory methods in a range of international case studies, we aim to
identify emerging routes into a new kind of global history of the experience of
Partition.
