Opportunity: Trans* Community Researcher

The community researchers will record oral histories with members of the Trans* community, and research ways in which Museum of the Home’s 2000s period room can better highlight trans* narratives and history. 

Following independent recording and transcription of oral histories, the community researchers will come together to form a co-curation group working towards the redesign of the period room through 3 in-person workshops at the museum.

Expenses: £200 per oral history recorded and transcribed (~7 hours), followed by £50 for each co-curation workshop attended (~2 hours).

Collaborators: The Trans* Community Researcher will work directly with the Assistant Curator and on occasion with the wider curatorial team

Who we are looking for people who:   

• Identify as Trans*
• Are passionate about community engagement and queer history. 
• Have openness to share ideas, think together and collaborate.
• Are interested in the history of the home. 

Experience: 

No experience is required, though previous experience in oral history and community engagement can be beneficial. Museum of the Home will provide relevant oral history collection training.
