➤ About the seminar
In this workshop, ethnographer Christa P. Whitney will draw on her own work of over fifteen years conducting oral history to answer these questions and methodology for creating a meaningful oral history collection.
She will present a model for communal oral history that focuses on language, heritage, and identity from her work experience as the director of the Yiddish Book Center’s Wexler Oral History Project (USA). The workshop will also cover practical considerations about project scope, interviewing techniques, archival management, and presentation of oral history for wide audiences.
