How to work with life stories
In this online workshop, recorded on 19th of May 2020, Dr Elodie Apard (IFRA-Nigeria Director) adresses the collection and production of biographies as a research methodology. Not only relevant in history but also in many other fields of social and human sciences, biographies and life histories can be considered as materials, sources and as a 'type of research' in itself. Life histories and biographies are not just 'in-depth interviews' and there collection has to follow specific methods. The prosopographical approchant is a method used to study a group of people through the observation of their lives and trajectories. Considering the potential contribution of life histories and biographies to any research work, the objective of the workshop is to provide methodological tools to include them in the analysis.
