People’s History Museum is a partner in the Royal Holloway led Inclusive Histories project.
Inclusive Histories is a collaborative research and schools engagement project aiming to support the more inclusive teaching of British political history as set out in the AQA Thematic GCSE specification, Britain: Power and the People: c1170 to the present day.
As Research Associate you will play a key role in researching stories in the struggle for rights and representation that foreground the voice, experience and agency of traditionally marginalised groups. This includes but is not limited to stories relating to members of the global majority, LGBTQIA+ people, working class people, women and disabled people, as well as those with intersecting identities. Your focus will be the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This research will be undertaken using the archives and collections of People’s History Museum (Manchester), where you will be based; the Working Class Movement Library (Salford); and, for up to 10 weeks of the project, Glasgow Women’s Library.
