In the last decade psychosocial research has grown enormously in the UK,
fostered by the national Psychosocial Network. Psychosocial research is a
challenging approach, sensitive to the emotional aspects of both
researcher and subject, aware of the relational qualities of research and
committed to the idea of the complex interplay of the psychological and
the social in the construction of social situations.<br>
<br>
Much of this work has been built around in-depth interviews and other
qualitative methods. But what happens to psychosocial methods when using
others’ interviews, or even non-interview materials? How best should we
approach another’s archive, and what do we leave, when we create our own
archives?<br>
<br>
The British Library has extensive collections which include photography,
newspapers and web-sites as well as a world-renowned oral history archive
of exceptional interest for psychosocial researchers. The workshop will
include discussion of psychosocial research and the archive; festivals
and working with visual and dramatic materials. It will introduce you to
two of the BL’s collections, <i>Food: from Source to Salespoint</i>, and
<i>Sisterhood and After:The Women’s Liberation Oral History Project,</i>
and offer the chance to work with them using psychosocial methods. <br>
<br>
It will be led by two members of the Centre for Psychosocial Studies and
the two directors of the archive collections in question. <br>
