Families Remembering Food
  • Peter Jackson, Graham Smith, Sarah Olive
  • Data sources
  • Edwardians
  • 100 Families
  • Millennium Memory Bank
  • Research questions
  • Have social constructions of the family, and
    memories of the family, changed over time and
    place (with particular reference to food
    consumption and mealtimes)?
  • What is the place of food in peoples memories of
    family life (and are there geographical
    differences)?
  • How do gender, ethnicity and social class impact
    on the different interconnections between family
    and food?

23
Ethical and consent considerations
  • questions of confidentiality and agreements made
    at the time of fieldwork
  • archived data should always conform to ethical
    and legal guidelines with respect to the
    preservation of anonymity when this has been
    requested by informants or guaranteed to them
  • achieve this by various strategies
  • consent for archiving
  • controlling access (e.g., legal undertakings to
    protect confidentiality, licences, vetting)
  • editing the original data

Secondary analysis or cooking with leftovers
  • What is SA?
  • Boundary is blurring between secondary and
    primary
  • Historical methods
  • Longitudinal research
  • Some issues
  • Informed consent
  • Context
  • Primary ? Privileged
  • Value for money

26
Key benefits of SA
  • May be a way of deterring repetitive data
    collection
  • May enable more focus on mid-range theory
    development, causal mechanisms, and so on.

27
Discussion questions
  • What are some options for reworking food data?
    Across time, samples, methods?
  • What could be done to create material/data useful
    for teaching?
  • What data would you use?
