Memories of War: New Narratives and Untold Stories

This one- day conference forms part of a wider social history project which has examined alternative narratives and previously untold stories of war. The project has encompassed a series of public seminars and the ongoing collection of more than 250 written and oral testimonies from London and South East England residents who lived through the Second World War.  This has created an interesting and valuable record of local, social history from a turbulent time which will form part of an exhibition to be hosted at the University of Greenwich from 17 September – 15 October 2010. 

This conference will complete the initial phase of the ‘Other Narratives’ project and will serve as a platform for new and established academics interested in this area. Speakers include, Hilda Kean, Lucy Noakes and Alison Twells and a full conference programme complete with abstracts is available to download.

The conference fee is £30 which includes refreshments, buffet lunch and a copy of the Memories of War Exhibition book

Reduced fee of £20 for postgraduates.
