Professor Linda McDowell, CBE, DLitt, FBA (The School of Geography and St John’s College) presents Moving Stories: the working lives of migrant women in post-war Britain. “Migration and employment are central issues in understanding the transformation of Britain in the second half of the twentieth century. I explore the connections between the shift to a service economy and an increasingly diverse workforce through the lens of the life stories of women who moved to Britain between 1946 and 2010.
