Oral History: The Art of the Interview*

49-2672

After an introduction to the theoretical and philosophical concerns in the practice of oral history, various methods and uses of oral history will be explored. In addition to learning the techniques of background research, question formulation, interviewing and transcribing, each student will have the opportunity to apply these skills to a formal oral interview for an established oral history project. Project topics will vary from semester to semester.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
