We wanted to let H-OralHist subscribers know that World History Connected’s Fall 2022 issue contains a special forum, “Oral History Informing World History.” The forum’s articles showcase new research, reflections on teaching oral history, and pedagogical suggestions for using online collections of oral history materials in college and high school classrooms.
Pdfs of the forum introduction and articles can be accessed here: https://journals.gmu.edu/index.php/whc/issue/view/246
