Oral History

Voice of Witness' 7th Annual Amplifying Unheard Voices Oral History Training will take place from June 27-30, 2017 at the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, led by Education Program Director Cliff Mayotte and myself.

This unique four-day training highlights the power of personal narrative and provides educators, storytellers, and social justice advocates with the tools to conduct oral history projects in their classrooms and communities.

On 13-14 October 2017, the Adam Mickiewicz Institute, in collaboration with Muzeum Sztuki in Łódź, will hold a conference devoted to the Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES), to mark the 60th anniversary of its founding.

The subjects of panel discussions will include the socio-historical background of the Studio, the reception of its autonomous compositions and musical “illustrations”, followed by reflection on the new musical genres that emerged under its influence and the aspect of interdisciplinarity.

CFP: LEXINGTON STUDIES IN COMMUNICATION AND STORYTELLING, EDITED BY KATHLEEN M. RYAN AND DEBORAH A. MACEY

This series engages scholarship in mediated storytelling: be it the traditional book or television program, the performed oral narrative, or the emerging media platform. Interdisciplinary in scope, this series looks at the myriad theoretical and practical approaches to the story, broadly defined. From the audience member-turned creator to new narrative, this series explores what storytelling means in the twenty-first century. We are looking for book proposals for this series.
