Life Stories: Oral History

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

Oral history provides a rewarding but complicated - and sometimes controversial - method of exploring the past. This course (H-Craft 3b) considers how oral history can provide wider access to the past than traditional forms of evidence, while also examining criticisms of oral history as a valid research tool, and how oral history methods and standards have evolved in response. Each student will conduct an oral research project within the framework of an ethics review process.
