JOIN US FOR A DAY OF REFLECTION, LISTENING, CONVERSATION AND PARTICIPATION
Pigott Theatre, Knowledge Centre, British Library, London NW12DB
Doors Open: 9:00
Starts: 9:30
Hosted by the Oral History Society in partnership with National Life Stories at the British Library.
The Oral History Festival gives attendees a rare chance to spend a day exploring a diverse range of ideas within oral history and memory work. Everyone will have the opportunity to reflect on their own practice in discussion with others, to network and – hopefully – to gain new perspectives and insights into oral history that they can apply to their work.
HOW DO THESE SESSIONS DIFFER FROM A CONFERENCE? An event with a difference: these will be peer-learning sessions, led by experienced oral historians, where participants are asked to reflect, collaborate and join in the discussion as much as they wish.
ALL ARE WELCOME whether you have been involved in oral history for a month, a year, a decade or more!
Workshop topics include:
- oral history and its role in tracing climate change
- expectations when commissioning oral history work
- oral history and creative practice
- emotions and oral history
- playing with the future in oral history
- place and identity in oral history
- creative transcription
- ethical dilemmas in oral history
- family oral history
- oral history in the classroom
