History and International Studies Final Year Topic: Food Rationing and Household Adaptation in Wartime Nigerian Accounts

This History and International Studies final year project investigates how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity. The proposed source base combines published memoirs, humanitarian records and consented adult recollections where ethically appropriate, subject to an initial access and provenance check.

Why choose this project topic?

The question of how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity supports a historical argument grounded in identifiable records. Comparing sources with different purposes creates room to explain change, contested interpretations and the limits of what survives.

How can published memoirs, humanitarian records and consented adult recollections where ethically appropriate explain how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity?

Choose the precise period and accessible archive or locality, then refine the historical scope of how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Establish the chronology and context relevant to how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity.
  2. 02Assess the provenance and coverage of published memoirs, humanitarian records and consented adult recollections where ethically appropriate.
  3. 03Compare provisioning practices and source perspectives while marking uncertain memories and chronology.

A suggested research approach

Begin with an access audit of published memoirs, humanitarian records and consented adult recollections where ethically appropriate before fixing the study dates. Compare provisioning practices and source perspectives while marking uncertain memories and chronology. Keep a source register, separate contemporary evidence from retrospective interpretation, and obtain approval and consent for any oral-history interviews.

What you will need

  • Confirmed access to published memoirs, humanitarian records and consented adult recollections where ethically appropriate
  • A source-comparison matrix for how historical accounts describe household responses to wartime food scarcity
  • Historical citation records, secure interview storage and any required ethics clearance

Keep your project scope clear

Do not pressure survivors to recount distressing experiences or treat memoirs as representative household surveys.
