From CCOHR:
The Center for Oral History Research/INCITE has announced its 2014 Oral History Institute, “Second Generation Memories and Stories,” to be held June 16-27, 2014, at Columbia University in New York City. This year’s program will explore how “memories are formed and transmitted through family, cultural, political and social frames and experiences.”
With the understanding that oral histories can be used in a number of fields, the CCOHR encourages applications from a wide range of disciplines. Workshops in digital storytelling, interviewing, and editing are included in the institute.
Applications are due on April 15, 2014. Tuition for the Institute is $2,200, though additional fees may be required for field trips. Low-cost housing is available on campus, or you may arrange your own housing. Fellowships may be available as well.
Core faculty will include:
• Mary Marshall Clark, Director of the Columbia Center for Oral History Research and co-director of the Oral History Master of Arts Program at the Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics of Columbia University;
• Peter Bearman, Director of the Interdisciplinary Center for Innovative Theory and Empirics and co-director of the Oral History Master of Arts Program;
