Aims of the courseThis course is designed for those who wish to pursue life history research, or, gain accreditation for previous experience in this field. It is likely to be of interest to graduates in social science, cultural studies, history or related disciplines who want to develop their skills in the research and collection of oral history and its community setting. The course is distinctive in that it has strong practical as well as theoretical components, and takes an inter-disciplinary approach to life history research. It focuses on oral history and media production, and there will be opportunities to get involved with local communities and work on live projects. You study how to collect, analyse, represent and exhibit life history data in different contexts and have the opportunity to practise some of these skills in collaboration during work placements - for example, in research projects, archives, museums, libraries and community groups. Successful graduates will be well equipped to disseminate life history data to specific audiences using a range of multimedia tools as necessary.
