  January Mini-IntensiveDates: January 4 & 5Location: Verso Books Loft; Brooklyn, New YorkThis hands-on workshop––open to all––is based on our popular 10-day intensive, covering oral history theory, method, and practice. Over the course of the weekend, we’ll address interview techniques, recording tutorials, ethics, memory, annotation, and experimental outcomes. 

Oral History for EducatorsDates: January 18 – 20 Location: Hudson, New York This workshop is designed for educators who want to bring oral history into their classrooms and learning spaces. We’ll begin with a rigorous introduction to oral history theory, methods, and practice before reviewing existing curricula as a jumping-off place to design our own curricula/projects.

Oral History, A Queer Art Dates: February 1 & 2Location: Bureau of General Services Queer Division, NYC“Oral History, A Queer Art” will follow the course of our usual immersive workshops by offering foundational oral history training–theory, method, practice–while inviting exploration into the way that oral history values and theory are arguably queer and/or well-positioned to support emergent complex queer narratives.
