3 - ORAL HISTORY

George Watley is currently in the process of interviewing people as part of the 3 year project researching the consumer behaviour of Northamptonshire Caribbean people c. 1955-1980.

Presentations of initial research findings have been made within the last few months to local and regional audiences, including the East Midlands Oral History Archive (EMOHA) and the Historical Association of Northamptonshire. The EMOHA presentation was part of a one day event held at the Centre for Urban History in the University of Leicester on 12th June 2009. Jenny Labbon presented on the original and continuing oral history work of NBHA.

Future plans include presenting the consumer behaviour research in a travelling roadshow visiting various local and national locations commencing sometime in late 2010 or early 2011. Furthermore, there is the possibility for this research to be presented to international audiences including Barbados, Czech Republic and the United States.
