Program: 12th Emerging Scholars Symposium
The full program for our 12th Emerging Scholars Symposium — « Vivre avec le trouble »: Trouble in Oral History and Storytelling (Friday, March 14, 8:45-17:00) — is now available. You can access the program here. To register – and take a look at our “Program at a Glance” – please visit: https://storytelling.concordia.ca/event/vivre-avec-le-trouble/.
This year’s symposium brings together twenty emerging scholars from Concordia and beyond in an interdisciplinary conversation on the transformative potential of oral history in troubled times. How might trouble and troublemaking (re)shape our fields? How might oral history and storytelling help us survive the current moment of poly-crisis? How might we mobilize oral history and storytelling to engage in necessary troublemaking?
Panelists and conference attendees will explore ways of knowing, interrogate the politics of the archive, listen to oral histories on the ground, and examine how oral history and storytelling might be used towards creating a more just society. We will delve into intergenerational conversations and ways of feeling memory. There will be ghost stories too. The program will culminate in a series of four brief performances, followed by a conversation with the researchers-artists.
Hope to see you there!
No Correct Way to Love This Woman: Writing the Lives of Shulamith Firestone
The History Department and Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) presents:
Dr. Lana Dee Povitz
Assistant Professor of History, Middlebury College
This talk will explore the challenges of writing an oral history-based biography of Shulamith Firestone, American radical feminist, organizer, writer, and artist (1945-2012). Gifted with creativity and insight, Firestone was a prime mover in the Women’s Liberation Movement of the late 1960s. She also struggled during her later life with schizophrenia and was frequently hospitalized against her will. Rather than splitting off these later years as an unfortunate sidebar, this work engages with the full sweep of Firestone’s life and brings new meaning to her legacy of resistance.
