Abstract

This dataset is the written text of 'postcards' submitted to researchers at the Open University and London South Bank University by the public as part of an annual week-long Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 'Festival of Social Science' public engagement series of events. The postcard exercise ran from 7-16 March 2008, where people were invited to write about their sisters and brothers. They could either complete an electronic postcard via a website (advertised through leaflets, email lists, chat groups, on the research team's email signatures), or a paper postcard at displays in offices, schools, public libraries, care homes and voluntary organisations.
