Life Beyond the Glassworks

Have you ever wondered what life looked and sounded like for local people in Alloa and Clackmannanshire across different decades? Now is your chance to see and hear with a 25 – 30 minute documentary screening created in collaboration with members of the public in Alloa and Clackmannanshire. The documentary focuses on everyday, and extraordinary, life experiences of residents in Alloa and Clackmannanshire. It explores childhood, school experiences, working life, family life, social activities and has a particular focus on women’s experiences.

Following the documentary screening there will be a 30 - 40 minute panel discussion on the topic, why oral histories matter and how to get involved. This panel will include contributions from an archivist, a professional photographer and documentary maker, and a researcher from the Social Science department. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions from the panellists, and possibly some of the contributors to the documentary.

Please note that photography and filming will be taking place at this event, for future University of Stirling marketing purposes. If you do not want to be caught on camera please inform us on the day.
