As always, the goal with oral history transcription is producing a useful document that honors our various narrators and the intricacies of their individual speech. In this three-hour virtual yet hands-on workshop, you'll receive a first hand step-by-step look at how the Margaret Walker Center Oral History Transcription Style Guide was created to do just this. Participants of all skill levels and experiences are welcome; you do not need to have an existing style guide prepared for participation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/d6542f0f-719f-40fb-980b-fda3291be483/qhs2024.png Home - Also see me present at Invisible Histories Project’s 3rd Annual Queer History South Network & Conference Friday, February 23, 2024, 3:00 Session 4 - LGBTQ Oral Histories: Why?

Audience: High School Students This seminar-style course is an introduction to the academic and professional field of oral history. Each lesson engages students with activities to build the skills necessary to design and complete an oral history project in three main stages—pre-interview, interview, and post-interview. Students will try digital audio editing and digital archiving as this project-based approach includes a culminating task similar to products produced by professional oral historians (ie. a website with text, audio and visual representations of interviews). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/1597763083509-FRXMQX4ICYL4K82ZWP26/Screen+Shot+2020-08-18+at+9.55.54+AM.png Workshops and Courses - What is Oral History Length: 1-hour workshop. Audience: Middle School Students This short workshop is designed to fit into a typical school day period and introduces young students to the important concepts and practices that make up oral history interviewing. Providing a brief overview of oral history as an academic pursuit and professional practice, the workshop includes vocabulary, listening exercises, life history questions, and a game that develops their practice of creating follow up questions. At the end of the workshop young students should be equipped to conduct mini interviews for class projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/1631910946594-CXH187WX6DTO2OFBPIO7/20191021_084553.jpg Workshops and Courses - Considering Identity in Oral History: Interviewing Across Difference Length: 3-hour workshop. Audience: College Students/Professionals This workshop explores useful concepts in oral history that help to bring us closer to our narrators, and to define, where appropriate the differences that exist between us and how to work with those differences in the interview. Participants will attempt to define the relationship between core concepts in oral history: intersectionality and intersubjectivity (the dialogue between the interviewer and the narrator). Models of intersectional interviewing where identities either create intersectional distance or open dialogues of shared experience are demonstrated and participants are encouraged to submit examples of how these issues come up in their own work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/1631910908520-QHMI8O906PDG2F5SKDLR/20190527_154513.jpg Workshops and Courses - “Talking White”: An anti-oppression view towards transcribing Black narrators Length: 3 or 6 hour workshop. Audience: College Students/Professionals This workshop explores useful concepts in the transcription of oral history to help us more accurately portray the voice of our narrators. The English language is inextricably linked to a history of colonialism and has been used in the history of America to delegitimize the voices and agency of Black people (from forced illiteracy during slavery, to voter suppression during the Civil Rights Era, to even the halls of academia today). This workshop aims to change the way we think of the transcript as a record and the way we consider dialect and the importance of AAVE (African American Vernacular English) to recording American history and culture. https://www.alissaraefunderburk.com/spectrum-spirituality daily 0.75 2024-04-16 https://www.alissaraefunderburk.com/black-oh-network daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/fab9f576-ffb2-40c7-9921-642f5b7dda15/taylor_a_thumbnail.jpeg The Black Oral Historian Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/ce2cf086-cb3b-4a15-908d-9077b486d59e/Francena.jpeg The Black Oral Historian Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/0e3292b8-c702-4431-9766-c5e599a73d05/Jael-Gordon-Southern-University-Author-Headshot1.jpeg The Black Oral Historian Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/f73c75b2-d85e-44d9-a0f1-e1eb3f452a6c/jes.png The Black Oral Historian Network https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/1629815790802-NAT0QBPO4Z2P2QHI2JAM/Black+Oral+Historian+Network+%284%29.png The Black Oral Historian Network https://www.alissaraefunderburk.com/job-opportunities-for-black-oral-historians daily 0.75 2021-12-22 https://www.alissaraefunderburk.com/talking-white daily 0.75 2024-05-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/ca762b6b-ea37-48b9-ac46-042211dfad3f/com+arch+.jpg https://www.alissaraefunderburk.com/narrator-compensation-reparations daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f3a8b989b3be815a34f25cb/1728505543085-SRQQ6J37X09XJYNUEDEV/unsplash-image-ir5MHI6rPg0.jpg
