Reanimating and rematriating WRAP (MMU, Workshop 1 and 2 with students). Documentation of the first of two reanimating data workshops with students at Manchester Metropolitan University: sexual learning and social change

In 2019-2020 the ESRC funded 'Reanimating data: experiments with people, places and archives'. Part of the project involved staging a series of reanimations using data from interviews with young women from Manchester, conducted thirty years previously as part of the Women, Risk and AIDS Project (WRAP 1988-1990). Each reanimation involved a collaboration between young women, educators and researchers and used creative methods to explore the WRAP data and bring it to life in new ways. This zip file contains materials relating to the first of two sessions carried out with students at Manchester Metropolitan University. Participants were Youth and Childhood Studies undergraduate students, predominantly young women living in the Greater Manchester area. They took part in four activities exploring sexual learning and social change. First they explored what 'jars' them about sex, sexuality and sexual learning, then they took part in a free writing exercise about how they learnt about sex and sexuality and thirdly they looked at extracts from interviews with young women in Manchester 30 years ago, taken from the WRAP archive. In each of the extracts young women are talking about how they learnt about sex and sexuality. Students read and discussed the extracts and then used them to create a collage exploring how young people have learnt about sex over time. The file contains: images of from the 'what jars you?' actvity showing some students' 'jarrings'. the WRAP extracts on sexual learning used in the session Images of some of the speed writers on how students learn about sex and sexuality images of the 'then and now' collages created by students using WRAP data extracts and their own speed writes reflective notes by one of the faciltators describing the session activities and reflecting on student responses.
