An interview with Professor Ann Oakley: sociological legacies and futures
Kahryn and Anna interviewed Professor Ann Oakley as part of the Timescapes 10 Festival; the video and a blog were released this month:
On a warm, sunny day in June of last year, we had the great pleasure of interviewing Professor Ann Oakley, a renowned figure of modern feminism. We were in the process of organising a major ten-day festival, called Timescapes 10, which in September 2022, marked and celebrated ten years since the conclusion of the Timescapes programme of research. Central themes of the Festival included the lifetimes and legacies of research data, archives, collections and the scholars that produced these. Given her sociological importance and the long term relevance and impact of her work, Ann was the perfect interviewee for answering questions about intellectual legacies and futures. Furthermore, as great admirers of Ann’s work, we saw this as an unmissable opportunity to meet her and learn more from her in person. Watch the interview and continue reading:
