    About the conference

    Oral History Tasmania and Oral History Australia, in partnership with the College of Arts, Law and Education at the University of Tasmania and the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery are presenting the conference in the island jewel of Tasmania. The main conference at the Tramsheds Function Centre, Launceston, will be on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 October 2021, with plenary panels focusing on Oral History in Troubling Times and on Aboriginal Oral History in Tasmania. Oral history training workshops will be scheduled on Thursday 14 October. On Sunday 17 October we will host a selection of post-conference tours.

    Our introductory keynote speaker is Mark Cave, Past President of the International Oral History Association, Senior Curator at The Historic New Orleans Collection, and co-editor of Listening on the Edge: Oral History in the Aftermath of Crisis (2014). Mark’s keynote is titled ‘Why Did This Happen? Making Meaningful Answers in the Aftermath of Crisis’. Mark will explore the limitations of the media in the aftermath of crisis and argue that oral history has an important role to play alongside journalism in creating explanations that not only help communities move beyond crisis but help them move beyond crisis in ways that make them stronger.

    Oral history is knowledge formed in relationship. This year we plan to explore how oral historians have centered relationship in their work, how oral history processes can change how we relate to each other and to the past, and what it means to relate or retell an oral history to new audiences.

    All events will be hosted online via Zoom. They are free and open to the public with pre-registration required. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

    These events are open to all. You can use this quick survey to let us know how we could make these events more accessible for you.

    Sarah Schulman, a novelist, playwright, nonfiction writer and screenwriter – with her collaborator Jim Hubbard, started the ACT UP Oral History Project in 2001. They hoped that the raw data they created by interviewing 188 members of ACT UP over 18 years would eventually be interpreted by academics. But instead, false histories emerged crediting a handful of individuals with the work of hundreds. Realizing there was a state of emergency, Schulman sat down and re-read all the interviews she had conducted and cohered tropes and themes to compose one, 768-page book that has been called a “masterpiece” by the New York Times, and has now been optioned for a dramatic television series. Schulman will discuss the process and be available for questions.
