Host: Dr Alison Atkinson-Phillips, OHWA President.

Alison is an experienced oral and public historian, and is senior lecturer in Community Development at Murdoch University where she teaches about the importance of storytelling in community building. In her oral history practice, she is particularly interested in the ways different kinds of interview prompts (photos, videos or personal archives, for example) impact on the ways people remember in interviews. Alison is currently working with community co-operative Dwellbeing Shieldfield (UK) to develop a community archive.
