Oral History and A Family Home

Peabody Cottages. (Latham: 2019)

 This website is centred around an oral history interview, and its analysis, with a relative of mine, as we discussed the house that he has been living in for many years.

Interview Analysis

With reference to theories by oral historians, I primarily consider how my relative considers his house to be a home as a concept, while equally commenting upon the silences in the interview.
