Untold Stories: Evolution of Ghanaian Culture and Architecture Post-Colonialism: A Biographical Perspective Part 2 Dissertation 2024 Phoebe Laryea University of Plymouth | UK This dissertation follows an autoethnographic approach and examines the impact of colonial rule on Ghanaian culture and its evolution over the years expressed through a spatial enquiry. Implementing a storytelling lens (scaffolded mainly through interview methods), this research explores this evolution from the perspective of familial relationships and heritage, ethically sourcing information from the author’s parents’ lived experiences in Ghana framed by the author’s transnational experience as an architecture student in the UK.The study theorises extensions toward topical areas such as critical (post)colonial studies and storytelling, it’s rich in primary data analysis, and shaped by the learning and lived experiences of the author. It frames, then, broader research spaces within a narrow, personal, localised and intimate niche of investigation. By focusing on personal experiences, then, it provides insight into how colonization has shaped modern Ghanaian identity and culture, and more widely underscores the crucial role individuals play in driving broader societal transformations.
