Relating Oral History | OHMA Spring 2022 Workshop Series

Amy Starecheski Discussion

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. Note that we are able to provide ASL interpretation for any event but need two weeks notice. Please contact Rebecca McGilveray at rlm2203@columbia.edu with specific access requests or questions.
