Recovery History Oral History – Sexual Harms Research Alliance
I’m Ruth Beecher and this is my colleague Katie Elliott. Over the last few months, we’ve started recording the life histories of survivors of childhood sexual abuse for the Recovery Histories project....
shra.bbk.ac.uk
Yesterday we posted posters and cards to survivors’ organisations across Ireland, Wales, Scotland & England with the hope that we will reach people who are not on social media and who might like to record their oral histories with us. We will preserve them & value them. Let us know if you can help.
We are hiring a part time Research Assistant to work on the @csarepsprojectucd.bsky.social, ideally to start in January 2026, please see link for details & email me with any questions ailise.bulfin1@ucd.ie universityvacancies.com/university-c...
