>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.
>
>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?
>
>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, Food: from Source 
>to Salespoint, and Sisterhood and After:The 
>Women’s Liberation Oral History Project, and 
>offer the chance to work with them using psychosocial methods.
>
>It will be led by two members of the Centre for 
>Psychosocial Studies and the two directors of 
>the archive collections in question.
