This course introduces graduate students to the critical use and application of oral history for academic research as well as professional and cultural activities. Designed from a practical perspective, the course is centred on activities to facilitate students’ understanding of the fundamentals of oral history. The first half of the course addresses key theoretical issues, while introducing students to each of the main oral history research steps that they will undertake throughout the semester. The remaining half takes students through each of the main steps in implementing their oral history research project. Students’ oral history research projects may be informed by topics from other courses, including their larger research projects.
