Oral history and podcasts are methods that allow people to broadcast their stories, while providing others an opportunity to listen. In this class, students will have a chance to consider the history of the two methods, dive into related theory, literature, art practices; and have opportunities to learn from oral historians, podcasters, as well as artists and writers who use oral history and podcasting in their practice. In this course, students will also have a chance to make and analyze audio culture themselves. A focus of the class will be on how oral histories and podcasts are used within movements of social justice by activists, artists, and others. Examples include oral history's vital role in capturing the ongoing story of HIV/AIDS; how podcasting has provided people in prison with a voice on the outside; and how institutions like the Smithsonian use oral history to explore art practices and social issues in the present.
