IHR Oral History Course
Course announcement:
An Introduction To Oral History - 19 January-29 March 2004
Tutor: Dr Anna Davin
After the first very successful running of this course in 2003, the Institute
of Historical Research will once again be offering this course in 2004. The
course addresses the theoretical and practical issues in oral history through
workshop sessions and the students' own interviewing work. It will deal with
the historiographical emergence and uses of oral history, with particular
reference to the investigation of voices and stories not always accessible to
other historical approaches. It will examine theoretical and methodological
issues, for instance concerning memory, the interviewing relationship, ethics
and the uses to which recordings may be put. And it will help students to
develop practical skills in interviewing, recording, the preservation of
cassettes and the organization and preservation of oral material.
The course is organised as a term of eleven weekly sessions of two hours to be
held in the IHR. Please note that this course, being run over a term, allows
students time to conduct their own interviews and discuss them later in a
workshop environment, enabling them to hone their interviewing skills.
Sessions will include:
Methods & Problems in Interviewing
Ethics & Copyright
Life Histories & Interpretation
Using Testimony
Memory Issues
Oral History & Public History
Workshop sessions - where participants are encouraged to bring their own work
The course is open to postgraduate students, academics and all who are
interested in exploring the methods of Oral History. The fee for the course is
£120(GBP) for students & individual participants and £150(GBP) for academics &
institutionally sponsored participants.
