    Oral History Winter School: Three Workshops in January & February by Sabine Frid

    Oral History Summer School is back in session this Winter with three workshops in Hudson and New York City. Come all ye documentarians, journalists, artists, media-makers, educators, and those looking to learn new things in good company. Open to all levels, no experience necessary.

      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.

    Call for Proposals

    

    SOHA Annual Conference, Las Vegas, March 27-29, 2020

    The Southwest Oral History Association (SOHA) will host its annual conference with the theme of Home(Lands) and
    Oral Histories of (Re)Vitalization on March 27-29, 2020, at the Lied Library on the campus of the University of Nevada,
    Las Vegas (UNLV). Home(Lands) is a timely platform for the conference, as SOHA returns to its institutional home at
    UNLV. Home(Lands) also reflects major issues in Nevada such as the possible reinstatement of the Yucca Mountain
    Nuclear Waste Repository, the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s controversial and repeated efforts to gain groundwater
    rights from valleys to the distant north of Las Vegas, and the continued presence of open pit mining in the entangled
    boom/bust continuum that powers so much of rural Nevada economies. This call stresses the question of the rights and the meanings that inhere in claims to and experiences of home, acknowledging the voices of those claiming their home. Since time immemorial to our present-day in the Southwest and beyond, vicissitudes of harmony and tensions about
    understandings of home and belonging in terms of the national and international imaginary persist. Oral Histories of
    (Re)Vitalization refer to the vitality and the struggles surrounding the value—at times, valuation—of life, both human and
    nonhuman. Homelands are the center of life, which oral histories encapsulate and express as ways to revitalize and
    support thriving beings.

    We invite all oral historians, scholars, students, teachers, community members, and others to submit proposals for
    presentations and/or sessions that feature oral history research and offer insights on methodologies and practices.
    Although we encourage proposals that address how oral history and oral traditions create and affect communities’ senses of home and vitality, all proposals (both full sessions and individual presentations) are welcome and will be reviewed.

    Proposals should include the names, affiliations, and preferred contact information of participants, a one-page CV for each presenter, the titles of sessions and papers/presentations, and a brief abstract of each presentation/paper (no more than 250 words per abstract) along with a brief summary (30-40 words) of the full session if applicable. Indicate if your presentation requires the use of technology (A/V). Please submit your complete proposals as a single PDF via email to soha2020conf@gmail.com by January 6, 2020. Thank you, and we look forward to your submissions!
