Objects as knowledge: A case study of outsight
A laboratory procedure employing insight problems allows researcher to capture how new ideas are discovered or constructed. Insight problems are relatively simple riddles designed to encourage an initially incorrect interpretation of the problem that leads to an impasse: Researchers are then poised to capture the moment the impasse is overcome, that is when a new productive interpretation of the problem is developed resulting in the solution. Res…
The houses of history: A critical reader in history and theory, second edition
Every piece of historical writing has a theoretical basis on which evidence is selected, filtered, and understood. This book explores the theoretical perspectives and debates that are generally acknowledged to have been the most influential within the university-led practice of history over the past century and a half. It advises readers to bear in mind the following four interlinked themes: context, temporal framework, causation or drivers of ch…
Health and Socio-Cultural Experiences of Refugee Women: An Integrative Review
Family memory, ‘things’ and counterfactual thinking
Contemporary research into the relationship between material culture and the formation of personal and family identities has emphasized the idealized symbolic role of inherited objects and ‘things’. In the following research, oral history interviews were recorded with 12 multigenerational families in Devon and Cornwall about memories and stories from the family’s past. Within this oral history cohort, the eldest member in four families identified…

The Torrey Canyon Disaster, Everyday Life, and the “Greening” of Britain
This article challenges the predominant narrative of the rise of modern environmentalism that supports much of the historiography on environmental ideas and movements. Through a study of the effects of the Torrey Canyon disaster of 1967, we show that everyday life is a vital mediator of environmental catastrophes and has played a crucial role in rendering ambiguous popular attitudes toward the impact of disasters on the natural world. Using oral …
Community and Exclusion: The Torrey Canyon Disaster of 1967
Oral historians have only recently begun to record the memories of communities affected by major oil spills. In this article we investigate how the first supertanker oil spill in 1967, the Torrey Canyon, is remembered in the coastal communities of Cornwall. Environmental disasters cause more than just environmental damage. They also challenge communities, bringing to the forefront social tensions and conflicts. This study reveals the widespread s…
Intergenerational Family Stories: Private, Parochial, Pathological
National surveys investigating the ways in which the public connects with the past have identified the significant role played by family memories and stories. While historians have largely been dismissive of this dimension of historical consciousness, sociologists and psychologists perceive these stories to be essential elements in human development and the creation of social identity. In this study, a cohort of twelve multigenerational families …

Remembering: Writing Oral History
With the ever-growing enthusiasm for genealogy and social history, this book on the practice and use of oral history will have considerable appeal. It falls into two parts, the first exploring some of the general issues that arise for those embarking on oral histories, such as confidentiality, transcribing from oral to written form, and the particular situation of Maori oral history; the second part deals with a fascinating variety and range of p…
British Capital, Antipodean Labour: Working the New Zealand Waterfront, 1915-1951
This book is about work on the New Zealand waterfront in the first half of the twentieth century. With a small domestic market, the country depended for its wealth on trade with the rest of the world. That trade relied on the carriage of goods by sea and so the ports played a vital role in the nation's economy, and in the nation's labour relations. A series of bitter labour disputes arose out of the differing goals of shipping companies and water…
Crack cocaine and prostitution in London in the 1990s
During the past 15 years, the use of crack cocaine has increased in London and our research from 1995-96 shows that its use is widespread throughout the sex industry by prostitutes and their clients. Interviews with women who have used crack and worked in prostitution show that use of the drug presents few difficulties for many in the industry, in contrast to widely held views. However, some women found that crack use undermined their safety at w…
Generating Socialism: Recollections of Life in the Labour Party
'This book is a must for anyone who reaaly wants to understand socialism Britain, the Labour Party, its roots, its members, its activities and its debates over the last century. It is the best introduction to what we are about that I have read' -- Tony Benn, M.P. This book conveys through the words of the activists themselves the real history of the British Labour Party, from its foundation to the present day. It is illustrated with a number of p…

Spelling, Go-Slows, Gliding Away and Theft: Informal Control Over Work on the New Zealand Waterfront 1915-1951
One of the central debates in labour history has been over the degree to which people of the working class have been able to act as agents in the making of their own history. Originating in the debate between E. P. Thompson and Perry Anderson/Tom Nairn in the 1960s, recent labour historiography has tended to emphasise the domination of the working class by those who control the economic structures of capitalist society.1 The ability of the workin…
