Case Studies

Memory, Conflict and Class focuses on deindustrialisation in Belfast and County Durham since 1970. This case study uses oral history testimony collected by Pete Hodson for his PhD research.

The Holyland case study focuses on the interviews QUB students recorded with members of the Holylands Reunion Group as part of the Recording History module. As part of the module, the students work with the BBC and pitch ideas to its producers for potential radio documentaries. The module also provides the opportunity for students to take part in valuable work with a range of non-academic groups. These have ranged from community organisations (such as the Sailortown Regeneration Group) through to the cultural institutions (such as the Ulster Museum).
