Re-creating York's Hidden Stories Rachel Wicaksono and Dasha Zhurauskaya
Event details
Linguists Rachel Wicaksono and Dasha Zhurauskaya explore the mechanics of storytelling, focusing on the stories of a ‘hidden’ population of migrants in the city of York.
Working with a community project that collected interviews with migrants from Africa, Europe, Asia, and South and Central America, who had lived in York between two and 50 years, they will demonstrate how meaning in interviews is co-constructed and stories are re-created.
Rachel and Dasha’s interactive presentation will be of particular interest to students, academic researchers and community project leaders who are interested in migration stories and interviews as a method of data collection.
This event is hosted live on Zoom Webinar. You’ll receive a link to join a couple of days before the event takes place and a reminder an hour before. During the event, you can ask questions via a Q&A function but audience cameras and microphones will remain muted throughout.
