Students will learn how to design an oral history project, conduct oral history interviews, process interviews, evaluate and interpret oral history evidence, assess its significance in relation to written archival records, and address legal and ethical issues of concern to oral historians.
This course will also explore how oral history research can be presented and used in museum exhibits, plays, documentary films, web-based programs, and classroom projects. Readings, written assignments, class discussions, fieldwork, and final projects are designed with these goals in mind.
