SOCIAL AND CRITICAL STUDIES SUBJECT GROUP OPEN LECTURE
Writing your life, speaking your life: reflections on life history research
today
Saturday 4 December 2004 10am-1pm
With Dorothy Sheridan & Alistair Thomson
Life histories are everywhere: on television oral history documentaries, in
newspaper profiles, in the proliferation of biographical publications, on
world wibe web 'blogs', in museum displays... In a pair of linked lectures
two of the leading figures in the field of life history research explore
two sides of this extraordinary phenomenon - life story writing and oral
history - and consider the rich potential and problems for social and
historical research using different types of life stories.
Dorothy Sheridan (Director of the internationally renowned Mass-Observation
Project and Head of Special Collection in the University of Sussex Library)
will focus on 'Writing Your Life: Reflections on Mass-Observation Today'.
Al Thomson (Director of CCE and editor of 'The Oral History Reader' and the
'Oral History' journal) will focus on 'Speaking Your Life: Reflections on
Oral History Today'.
