Oral History Workshop
Private Workshop

The Oral History Workshop will guide participants through oral history project design and implementation. The workshop will cover interview techniques, audio tutorials, grants/funding, reciprocity, ethics, and all the elements of an oral history project design. We'll discuss life histories, community histories, family histories, institutional histories, testimony, and other sub-categories, while looking at the broad range of disciplines/subjects that oral history can address (public health, war crimes, memory...). I'll be introducing some innovative and unusual project designs, including the oral history chain letter. This course is appropriate for the beginning oral historian or for those of you looking to focus on your project design, with the benefit of deadlines and critique.
