Description

The practice of oral history is an important counterpart to traditional archival research methods. This course examines what it means to be a practitioner of oral history. The course will explore in depth the contributions that oral history can make to the understanding of the past. Throughout the course we will think critically about the nature of narrative an memory and work extensively to develop interview skills. The course will also explore the design of an oral history archive.

This course is closed for registration.
