Oral History

Omtale

Oral history’s rapid rise has been evident across a wide range of academic and community settings. From surgeons in England investigating the embodied memories of half-remembered techniques in no longer practiced operations, to truth and reconciliation projects in countries recovering from civil conflict, including in South Africa, oral history is as diverse and widespread in practice as it is in application. This proposed publication would celebrate the many ways of doing oral history, while identifying key concepts, and thereby produce a collection aiming both to inform and to influence the growing numbers of practitioners and students of oral history internationally.
