Reasonably Happy with Paul Ollinger

How Londoners survived the Blitz with Dr. Amy Bell - Ep 59


Listen Later

Dr. Amy Bell is the author of London Was Ours, an examination of memoirs and diaries kept by ordinary Londoners during the Blitz. From Sept 1940-May 1941, Hitler’s Luftwaffe bombed London almost every day or night. The city experienced massive death and destruction, yet citizens went on with their lives, albeit under modified routines. Amy and I discuss how the lessons of the Blitz might be relevant to the Coronavirus shelter-in-place quarantine. Amy Bell is a professor of History and Department Chair at Huron University College in London, Ontario Canada. Her research focuses on the social and cultural history of 20th century Britain, particularly London. She is fascinated by the histories of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstance, like bombing raids, violent crimes and— you guessed it—quarantines! Learn more about Amy’s work on http://www.amyhelenbell.com/ and/or  Follow her on Twitter. Find out more about Paul Ollinger on his website and/or follow him on the socials: • Twitter: http://Twitter.com/Paul_Ollinger • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paul_ollinger/ • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PaulOllinger/ • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulollinger/
