Keynote speaker: Dr. Steven High
« Reflecting Back on Twenty Years of Oral History at COHDS »
Our Annual General Assembly is fast approaching. This year, we are delighted to welcome as our keynote speaker oral historian Steven High, who co-founded COHDS almost twenty years ago.
Dr. Steven High is an award-winning interdisciplinary oral and public historian with a strong interest in transnational approaches to working-class studies, forced migration, and community-engaged research. He has headed a number of major research projects, most notably the prize-winning “Life Stories of Montrealers Displaced by War, Genocide and Other Human Rights Violations. “ Currently, he is leading the transnational SSHRC-funded partnership project “Deindustrialization & the Politics of Our Time.” He has been awarded a Governor General’s History Award in the Popular Media category and, more recently so, the J.B. Tyrrell Medal for his outstanding contributions to Canadian history. As many of you know, Steven is a constant presence at COHDS, regularly offering workshops on oral history and the art of deep listening, taking groups of students and community members on oral history walking tours in Montreal’s South-West, and generously mentoring generations of oral historians.
