Random opportunity that has just as randomly come my way - thought I would share for any of those interested...
How distinctive is Cornwall’s political culture?
The Institute of Cornish Studies (ICS) invites you to an oral history training seminar onWednesday 30th October 2013 from 2 – 5pm in Peter Lanyon Seminar Room 3, Penryn Campus. This event is part of the Cornish Politics Research Programme looking at Political Behaviour and Traditions.
The Cornish Political Research Group was launched in March 2013 to stimulate research. Apart from promoting research through publications and a seminar series, the group will take the lead in creating a political resource including election leaflets, letters, photographs, film and oral history recordings. There will also be on-going analysis of election statistics including the results of Cornwall Council, European and Westminster elections. Researchers will focus on such themes as contemporary community governance, political traditions (including the impact of family, occupational and religious factors) and electoral comparisons between Cornwall and other regions of Britain and Europe.
The project is looking for volunteer interviewers who can help conduct interviews with individuals from across the political spectrum.Dr Garry Tregidga will be leading the session, covering the aims and objectives of the oral history component of the project. Advice on interview techniques, copyright forms and use of recording equipment will be provided during the seminar for those who would like to get involved.
We look forward to seeing you there. Please confirm if you would like to attend by emailing me oncornishstudies@exeter.ac.uk
