Abstract: | In this article the author shares a partial biography of Elizabeth Evans, who became a domestic science teacher in Britain during the First World War. This story begins with a small collection of artefacts—professional letters and personal photographs—which infuse our understanding of teaching and learning and Elizabeth’s everyday life nearly a century ago. This inquiry is an entry point to an interpretive process that explores questions of teaching during war and the interrelationships that defined Elizabeth’s lived experiences. |
