There is so little guidance *within* departments on how to conduct interviews as historians, so students think all you need to do is hit record and ask questions. We need training before we enter personal spaces and ask people to elaborate on difficult experiences.
@ihr_bbh
The conversation has moved to oral history, esp with our elders.
#BlackBritishHistory
My opinion: this is why everyone needs training before embarking on it. It is not simply recording interviews or answers to questions. There is an ethic, a theory, and a practice behind it.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about this on Twitter.
In 1973,
#Chapeltown
was branded as “the colony within”, and the decision to hold the
#ReclaimTheNight
walk there played into ideas about its ‘predatory’ residents.
Organisers were criticised at the time but they still went ahead.
In 1977, 60 women marched in Leeds in response to being told to ‘stay out of public places after dark’ because of the attacks made by the Yorkshire Ripper. It’s almost 50 years later! 🤦🏻♀️

Police were so convinced that the Yorkshire Ripper was a Black man in
#Chapeltown
that they ignored accurate witness descriptions. The decision to host the Reclaim the Night walk there added to the demonisation of its residents. So many people were affected in different ways.
Peter Sutcliffe's victims weren't just the 13 women he's known to have killed and the 7 he's known to have attacked; they were also the thousands of women in Yorkshire who lived in fear of going out and living their lives everyday for 5 years.
Let us never forget what he stole.

Same, and I think “under researched histories” isn’t a good replacement for “hidden histories”.
These stories are often being researched and told, but the work is done by those who the academy dismisses. Their voices are loud but often ignored. So I prefer “unheard histories”.
I’m so guilty of talking about ‘hidden histories’ so this really strikes a chord - however, I wonder to what extent we can consider them actively hidden? By contemporaries or archivists/historians since, I suspect there is a degree of active burying of women/POC/queer stories
