Symposium and Weekend Workshops Planned for 2008-9 Academic Year

There will be no Summer Institute in 2008, but ROHO has exciting plans for the coming academic year, including a symposium and workshops.

In August of 2008, ROHO moves into new offices in the refurbished and modernized Bancroft Library. As a result, we will not be able to offer the Advanced Oral History Summer Institute this coming summer.

However, early in winter 2009, ROHO will host a symposium with invited papers and comments, open to the public, on genres of narrative and documentation, theories of memory, recall, performance observation, and recording. Details about this exciting event will appear on this site in the fall.

Over the course of the next academic year ROHO will also offer several weekend workshops  on basic questions of project organization, legal and ethical responsibilities including copyright and human subject protection requirements, interviewing strategies, and the use of oral sources alongside other forms of historical evidence.
