Along with the rise of of radio documentary and podcasts, oral history has emerged as a flexible and ethical documentary practice with a wide range of outcomes: documentary, human rights work, visual art and brand strategy, to name a few. This hands-on workshop will involve recording, interviewing, and archiving tutorials as well as an eclectic survey of oral history-based work found in museums, magazines, films, public health reports, and theater spaces. Theoretical readings draw from oral history as well as adjacent fields (psychoanalysis, trauma studies, ethnomusicology), as we articulate what, specifically, makes oral history different from all other interview approaches, and how we can use it to draw out even the most reticent interviewees. This workshop is well suited for those interested in multimedia journalism, social advocacy, narrative nonfiction, and for documentarians of all stripes who want to learn new approaches to interviewing/storytelling.
