This conference offers oral history practitioners an opportunity to reflect on the role played by storytelling within interviews, the factors that shape the telling of a story, and the potential future uses of those stories after the interview. This two-day conference will take place in Maynooth University on Friday 19th and Saturday 20th June 2020.Continuing OHNI’s tradition of inviting keynote speakers of international renown, we are delighted to welcome Professor Lynn Abrams, Chair in Modern History, University of Glasgow. Abrams’ research interests span the history of women and gender, including oral history, of the modern period in Britain and Europe. She is the author of Oral History Theory as well as studies deploying oral history methodology including Myth and Materiality in a Woman’s World: Shetland 1800-2000 and The Orphan Country: Children of Scotland’s Broken Homes 1800-present. She is currently working on a book on postwar womanhood in Britain and is leading an AHRC research project on the history of knitted textiles in Scotland.While we welcome proposals on any topic related to oral history, we are particularly interested in proposals that take an imaginative approach to the “Storytelling and Oral History” conference theme. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to): How and why we tell stories Memories as stories The role of oral tradition Unlocking hidden stories Digital storytelling Storytelling in group interviews Performing stories Place-based stories Shaping stories through identity Preserving stories Storytelling and the decade of centenaries Conference contributions are welcome in a range of formats: Standard conference papers (20 minutes) 10-minute presentations for our “Moments” panels, focusing on outstanding or memorable individuals, experiences, and/or incidents that influenced or changed the way the presenter practices oral history Posters and visual presentations To propose, please submit an abstract (of not more than 250 words) along with your name, the name of your group, name of your organisation or institution, and your email address to info@oralhistorynetworkireland.ie before Friday 21st February 2020 at 5 p.m. All proposals must demonstrate a clear engagement with oral history and/or personal testimony, and we actively encourage the use of audio clips.

Call for Papers At the core of oral history is a desire for a more complex and nuanced understanding of the world around us. While we value each oral account as unique, personal and subjective, bringing together many voices – whether in agreement or disagreement – allows greater meaning to be gleaned, refined and accumulated. Oral history teaches us to be considerate and empathetic to different voices and perspectives. What does this mean in the context of oral history taking root in more places and different cultures around the world? Where it is used in more and different contexts and disciplines? Aided and even led by changing technologies? Presented in different forms and bearing multiple uses? This conference invites papers which shed light on the growing diversity, multidimensionality and interdisciplinary applications of oral history. As the IOHA conference enters Southeast Asia for the first time, the theme is also an invitation for reflection by the international oral history community to consider how we can help and support one another through friendships, networks and alliances. We look forward to receiving abstracts on the following themes: Oral history, culture and community Oral history, ethics and the law Oral history and the arts Oral history and technology Oral history and politics Oral history and business Oral history and sports Oral history and conflict Oral history and indigenous communities Inter- and cross-disciplinary applications of oral history (journalism, therapy, etc.) Comparative studies of oral history The official language of the congress is English, but presentations in Spanish will also be welcomed.
