Oral History for Public Culture
This advanced training is for doctoral researchers who are interested in using oral history methods. Oral history is a deep and dialogical form of interviewing which can enhance historical understanding as well as contributing to cultural organizations and community development. It has been used to promote inter-generational relationships and open up the cultural environment though interactive story-telling, creative uses of memory art and reminiscence programmes.
The training will take you through the cycle of preparation for interview, including ethical review tips; interviewing techniques and pleasures; post-interview processes and challenges. We’ll have time to try exercises and share experiences as well as touch on some of the emerging issues in the field, including AI, environmental oral history and creative methods. Attendees will need to commit to attending the whole day and will receive a certificate of attendance at the end.
