Home, Food and Family in WWI
5th March 2016 at Avoncroft Museum
"The Dig for Victory campaigns of the Second World War have a firm place within popular consciousness – yet similar activities in WWI when food also became a weapon of war have received little attention. This conference aims to explore how housewives, children and the home played a part in producing, preserving and preparing food during WW1. We aim to bring academics, teachers, students and those working or and volunteering in community group and the heritage industries together to share their ideas, interests and research. The programme of talks and papers will be complemented by displays and exhibitions from community history groups.
Confirmed speakers include:
Professor Karen Hunt – University of Keele
Dr Stella Hockenhull – University of Wolverhampton "
