The Lehigh Valley Engaged Humanities Consortium (LVEHC) is pleased to announce a day-long Oral History Workshop to be hosted at Lafayette College on May 24th, 2018.
Leading the workshop will be Brooke Bryan, Antioch College, who is Co-Director of the Oral History in the Liberal Arts Initiative. The workshop, which will include local panelists, will explore the definition of oral history and cover issues such as project planning, informed consent, data management and workflows. This event is open to anyone (librarians, educators, community members, etc.) who may want to pursue an oral history project related to the Lehigh Valley, and $250 stipends will be available for attendees who complete the workshop and a brief post-workshop survey.
Lora Taub-Pervizpour, Associate Dean for Digital Learning, will join other local practitioners on a panel addressing issues of planning and implementing oral history projects that engage digital pedagogies and archives. If you are interested in attending the workshop, please email LVEHC Mellon Grant Coordinator Kate Pitts (pittsk@lafayette.edu).
