Methods Talk
Methods Talk is the official methods@manchester podcast.
Each episode will feature one or more researchers talking about issues related to Humanities and Social Science research methods and approaches. Many of these podcasts will accompany events and workshops hosted by methods@manchester and are designed to communicate our collaborative activities to a wider audience.
In this Methods Talk episode we talk to Dr Elizabeth Ackerley and Dr Laura Fenton, both from The University of Manchester and members of the Morgan Centre for Research into Everyday Lives.
Liz and Laura are researchers on the Austerity and Altered Life-Courses project and discuss a range of creative approaches to oral history methods.
The Austerity and Altered Life-Courses team have been exploring different ways to share the stories of young people experiencing austerity. They have launched a digital exhibition, Future Lives and Austerity, featuring 12 futures stories in English, Italian and Spanish, which can be found along with further information on the Morgan Centre for Research into Everyday Lives wesbite.
