About this Event
Oral history—a conversation about the past, happening in the present, and oriented towards the future—is a core part of human life. Oral history can also be a more formalized research practice. In this interactive workshop, participants will be introduced to oral history as a dynamic tool for engaged, collaborative research, in applications from qualitative social sciences to the creation of primary sources for historical archives. Topics will include:
- Critical history of oral history as a research practice
- Interviewing and listening
- Consent, copyright, and legal releases
- Tools for audio recording
- Project design and planning
This workshop is in-person only and will not be recorded. Capacity is limited. It is free and open to the public, with a number of spots set aside for Columbia affiliates. Registration is required and the deadline to register is January 26. Participants should plan to attend for the entire training.
