Oral History Winter School: Oral History & Journalism | Jan 16-22, 2025
Location: Sylvan Motor Lodge, Hillsdale NY
Instructors: Suzanne Snider, Ari Mejia, Dao X Tran, Emma Brown and Nora Saks
More information + Registration
What lives at the intersection of these two sets of practices, oral history and journalism, and how does the ambidextrous journalist-oral historian trouble though moments when the practices diverge? This workshop was created to support journalists, oral historians, nonfiction writers, radio folks and documentarians of all stripes, and/or those wishing to reconcile ethics and journalistic constraints when working with longer form interviews and shorter form platforms. How can oral history’s sensitivity to intersubjectivity, trauma and its archival orientation support journalistic practice and inspire new forms? Sessions will take the forms of mini-presentations, interactive exercises, case studies, tech training/skillshares, listening/screening parties, pitch sessions and movement interludes (dance, games, meditation).
