OHS annual conference 2022

The Oral History Society, United Kingdom, will hold its annual conference for 2022 on 8-9 July. The theme is ‘Home‘.

Home as both an idea and a physical place has deep meanings for all of us. It connects us to family, generation and communities, both past and present; it is conveyed and expressed through memory, objects, images and the emotions. Home can confer and establish identity and belonging but it can also signify status or position. It can be a place of safety but also of danger, a refuge but also a site of confinement. Our experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has put home in the forefront of shared understandings and discussions of home.
