COHDS is delighted to invite you to the 13th Emerging Scholars Symposium, a one-day, in-person event bringing together emerging scholars, artists, and community practitioners working in oral history, digital storytelling, and creative research.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s symposium asks: Where is the joy in oral history? exploring joy as an emotional, political, and creative force in storytelling and oral history. At a moment often shaped by narratives of loss and crisis, the symposium creates space to listen for joy: in voice, memory, performance, ritual, and everyday exchange, without denying complexity or struggle.<\/p>\n
Over the course of a day-long of activities, this event will feature conversations, short presentations, research-creation projects, and creative works by emerging scholars and artists, followed by discussion and collective reflection. Presentations will be in English and French.<\/p>\n
All are welcome: students, researchers, artists, community members, and anyone interested in oral history and creative practice.<\/p>\n
The Emerging Scholars Symposium is the highlight of the year, so we are looking forward to welcoming you!<\/p>\n
