CORE 003 SC - Oral History: Theory, Method, and Practice
Oral historians use focused interviews to broaden and deepen the historical record, documenting the stories and experiences of a wide range of people and communities. We will examine the theories and methods of oral history, before embarking on our own oral history project with Scripps College alumnae. This course engages with the theme of “Histories of the Present” by examining debates over how to define, collect, organize, and communicate history. Most broadly, this course encourages students to reexamine the concept of “history” and to see all historical narratives as influenced by the contemporary “present” in which they were created.
Instructor: M. Delmont
Course Credit: 1.0
