Oral History Summer School was established in Hudson, New York, in 2012, as an immersive training program to help students from varied fields––writers, social workers, radio producers, artists, teachers, human rights workers––make use of oral history as an ethical interview practice in their lives and work.
We have three new workshops in January and February of 2019. Workshops are open to all levels of experience. Read more about the workshops below, or click here for more information. Questions? Contact info@oralhistorysummerschool.com
Shaking the Family Tree: Oral History, Family History and Insider Interviews
Dates: Jan 11 - 14
Location: Drop Forge & Tool, Hudson New York
Instructors: Suzanne Snider
Tuition: $575 ($500 for friends/family members who apply together)
For many of us, family is the obvious—and sometimes most complicated—place to start our work as oral historians. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use oral history to document and preserve their family stories. We’ll discuss common challenges: convincing your family to participate, delving into sensitive subjects and secrets, and working with interviewees who may suffer from memory loss. We’ll also discuss the potential for oral history to repair and transform relationships. Optional evening activities include a mini family-themed movie fest and an evening of embarrassing family stories, of course!
This workshop is a good fit for novices or advanced oral historians embarking on a family history project, broadly defined—or for those exploring the nuances of “insider” interviews. Also welcome: those working on projects about constructed families or constellations of people intimately related.
