Administrative / biographical background

Jo Stanley was teaching at Hulme Adult Education Centre in the late 1990s, she taught a number of creative lifestory classes, using ideas about mapping and visual summaries of lived life. The two main classes were: Mapping Our Lives, Make Your Experience Count (began Autumn 1997) and Mapping Our Lives, Migration from the Caribbean (began March 1998). This was commonly called the Windrush class, and was especially productive and high profile.
