Australian Generations Oral History Project

Introduction

 

Generational difference is one of the major issues of our time. Game shows like Talkin’ ‘bout Your Generation assume that Baby Boomers, Gen X and Gen Y contestants have very different attitudes and knowledge.

But consider the question ‘What does family mean to you?’ Because of dramatic social, technical and environmental changes in the past century, the experience of family may be very different for people born in 1938, 1958 or 1988.

This project will examine the formation and significance of Australian generations.
