Public History Group: Living with the Past at Home
Saturday 18th May 10.30 for 11
Living with the Past at Home
Dr Caron Lipman, Research Fellow, School of Geography, Queen Mary University of London
This talk will offer preliminary insights into a current research project that seeks to understand people’s attitudes to and understandings of the history of their homes. It involves interviews with a range of householders to discover how their knowledge of the past of their homes informs the choices they make in living in them, and describes what has been ‘inherited’ from previous inhabitants – materially, aesthetically, and in terms of stories that might have been passed on or uncovered.
