Abstract

This presentation is based on my ongoing PhD research which aims to explore, through the application of the (auto) biographical interview and the analysis of the life (hi)story, how women who grew up in a children’s Home in Belfast during the 1940s and 1950s interpret and re-tell their biographies. Being the daughter of an ‘orphan’ has resulted in a battle between my research self, myself as a daughter and inevitably my‘self’. This self struggle will be the focal point of this presentation.
