| Description: |
As the numbers of displaced persons across the world grows, research methodologies need to develop to be able to understandthese lived experiences in context. This paper draws on key learning points from a project which worked with older womenwho have applied for asylum in the UK, and specifically in England - a cohort often overlooked by research and practice - tounderstand their experiences of ageing in this country. Our aim is to provide unique insights into the design and methodologicalelements of conducting research with older women who seek asylum or are refugees. More specifically, we discuss and exploremethodological innovations with oral history approaches to meaningfully and sensitively account for experiences and potentialfutures of healthy ageing. Our findings focus on three key methodological learning points: from the personal to the universal(study design); participatory oral history (data collection); and oral history for future change (outcomes). To close, we discussthe implications of our research findings and the limitations and strengths of this original project which used a novel applicationof the methodology, “Oral Histories and Futures”. |
