    Hagley Oral History Grant (Deadline 6/1/2022)

    by Carol Ressler Lockman

    The Oral History Office of the Hagley Library invites applications for oral history project support. The interviews generated by these projects will become part of the collection of the Hagley Library, which guarantees the permanent preservation of and access to oral histories associated with any funded project. Graduate students conducting research for their thesis or dissertation, and more advanced scholars for books or other scholarly projects may apply for this grant. Our objective is to expand our oral history collections on business and its relationship to society by supporting serious research that uses oral history as a principal source, and to encourage use of oral interviews more generally. To achieve that goal Hagley seeks to collaborate with oral history practitioners and build a robust archive for the preservation of current projects and as a foundation for future projects and the larger business history community.

    Project grant funds may be used to reimburse costs associated with travel to interviewees, including for mileage, trains, air fare, food, and lodging. Funds may also be for equipment purchases but not stipends. Reimbursement of costs will take place promptly after submission of the interview sound file, metadata, release forms, and receipts. Archiving and indexing oral history interviews is a free service provided by Hagley to grant recipients.

    Interviews must be conducted in English and in accordance with the standards of the Oral History Association (https://www.oralhistory.org/archives-principles-and-best-practices-overv…) and the Hagley Library’s own technical requirements (available upon request). Oral history projects must fit within Hagley’s collecting scope; broadly the interconnected histories of American business, technology, and society. We especially seek oral histories representing the roles of women, African Americans and other ethnic minorities, and the roles that these groups have played in American business and technology. The Library seeks to document accounts of innovation as well as maintenance; change as well as continuity; success as well as failure; and institutional as well as personal experiences.

    Grant recipients must use Hagley’s release form and ensure that any restrictions will permit public access to the interviews within a reasonable timeframe, specific terms to be negotiated. In consultation with the interviewer, Hagley will index interviews using the OHMS system and make indexed interviews available to the interviewer and as part of our public archive.

    Deadlines: June 1 and December 1

    To apply, go to https://www.hagley.org/research/grants-fellowships/oral-history-project-grant-application to upload the following application information:

    1. Project title
    2. Project abstract (maximum length: 150 words)

    5. Potential interviewees, including an explanation why they are relevant to the project

    CALL FOR PAPERS The eighth international symposium of the Finnish Oral History Network (FOHN) AFTER: Time, Place & (Dis)Connections in Oral History & Life Storying December 1–2, 2022, Helsinki, Finland

    CALL FOR PAPERS
    The eighth international symposium of the Finnish Oral History Network (FOHN)
    AFTER: Time, Place & (Dis)Connections in Oral History & Life Storying
    December 1–2, 2022, Helsinki, Finland
    Oral historians and life story researchers are engaged through their work in projects of afterwardness. Whether we study devastating societal crises, life-changing events, or ordinary everyday practices, we address them from the perspective of hindsight. As oral history and life story research has connected experiences across times and places, it has likewise made evident multiple ruptures in how different voices and perspectives are centered. In this conference, we invite researchers and practitioners to analyze the (dis)connections in time and place caused by this afterwardness and its role in the research process: What happens after research collaboration? How are bodily experiences, senses, and emotions carried beyond the moment(s) of research encounter? What are the possibilities of collaboration beyond the traditional boundaries and practices of academia? What is the role of research in the aftermath of crises? Can oral history and life storying offer opportunities to imagine new futures?
    The eighth international symposium of the Finnish Oral History Network (FOHN) will focus on the notions of afterwardness, time, place, and (dis)connections in oral history and life story research from critical contemporary perspectives. The keynote speakers are Stacey Zembrzycki (Dawson College), Andrew Irving (University of Manchester), and Essi Jouhki (University of Jyväskylä).
    We invite contributions focusing on methodological and ethical questions, as well as on case studies. Proposals may be submitted for individual papers or panels and they can address but are not limited to the following themes and issues:
    ●Engagements in reciprocity. How can researchers contribute to reciprocity without face-to-face cooperation with the research participants?
    ●(Dis)connections between academic oral history/life storying and Indigenous knowledges and methodologies; decentering white and colonial methods and voices
    ●Attending to feelings (bodily and emotional) during and after the research encounter. How do we verbalize the non-verbal?
    ●(Dis)connections in time and place: opportunities and limitations of online participation
    ●Theorizing afterwardness: intergenerational memories and postmemory
    Submissions of individual papers require a title and a maximum of 250-word abstract. Panel proposals should include a maximum of 250-word description of the panel and max 250-word abstracts of each individual papers (max 5 papers per panel). The conference language will be English.
    Please e-mail your proposal fohnsymposium2022@gmail.com. The deadline for submissions is 31 May 2022.
    Presenters will not be required to pay a registration fee to participate in the symposium.
