With Steven High
What can we learn from an oral history transcript? This workshop will introduce you to ways of interpreting oral history transcripts starting with the underlying interview dynamic. We will ground our analysis in a single interview transcript that we will circulate a week in advance. You should go through it before our workshop. We will then discuss different interpretative strategies as a group.
Steven High is lead co-director of COHDS and has published extensively on oral history methodology, theory and ethics. His books include Oral History at the Crossroads, Beyond Testimony and Trauma: Oral History in the Aftermath of Mass Violence, and Deindustrializing Montreal: Entangled Histories of Race, Residence and Class. He also led the prize-winning Montreal Life Stories project.
