HIST 0341 - Oral History: Theory & Practice


Credits: 3

This course links theory and practice, providing an in-depth exploration of issues in the field of oral history, along with hands on, experiential learning. Students are trained in and engage in designing, conducting, and transcribing interviews. They learn about the contributions of oral history as documentation, and as a practice central to global studies. Through case studies, students learn about oral history as a practice of indigenous societies throughout the world. We explore the impact of historical developments such as colonialism, on oral history practices, and we explore relevant class, race, and gender issues.
