Oral History and Social Justice
This four part workshop will provide an overview of ways in which oral history projects may be a powerful tool for preserving and honoring the knowledge of marginalized communities in order to achieve social justice. Oral history helps us to understand the past as well as our present circumstances and can help us to understand how to change our conditions to shape a more just future. This workshop will examine how oral history projects may complement other forms of resistance such as community organizing and participatory action research.  Although primarily designed for folks interested in or already conducting oral history projects with community based organizations, this workshop is open to all.

Each workshop will be 45 minutes long, including a 30-minute presentation and 15 minute Q&A.

There will be homework!
