Restudies of past projects remain relatively rare in the social sciences. Likewise, significantly more work needs to be done to highlight the contribution of previous generations of women and BAME scholars currently overlooked in research historiographies. As such, there is a need to re-examine these past contributions to both recognise their significance and to reassess the contemporary relevance of the findings from their work to draw out any methodological lessons for creative research practice. Using data from our funded research on Pearl Jephcott – reconstructing 'then and now', archival demographic and biographical research, and interviews – this event contributes to this research agenda by highlighting the lessons she has for contemporary social science and creative research practices.
