Hi there!

I am a postgraduate history student at the University of Oxford. I am working on a research project about the lives and labour of care workers, and working conditions in the care industry.

I am seeking to interview workers who cared for the elderly, or worked in the social care or elderly care industry (in any capacity) between the 1980s to the early 2000s about their experiences. Must have been paid for care work, either by salary or government allowance. Interviews can be individual, in pairs or small groups, and at a time and place of your choosing (online or in person). I am very open to discussing the format and content etc. of the interviews beforehand.

Please reach out if you have any questions or to discuss. My email is [email protected].

Feel free to share this information with others who may be interested in taking part.

Many thanks,
Freya Willis
