Special Episode: Oral History Association

COHDScast

The Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling co-hosted the Oral History Association Annual Meeting (http://www.oralhistory.org/) from October 10 to 14, 2018. With 140 sessions, 800 delegates, and 25 parallel research-creation projects, this was an unprecedented showcase for oral history research, and research-creation, in Montreal. For this special episode, COHDScast attended the "Beyond Women’s Words" book launch (https://bit.ly/2ybNt6Q) on October 12 and interviewed three women scholars and researchers; Professor Lynn Abrams (https://bit.ly/2MnqGbX), queer feminist activist Ponni Arasu (https://bit.ly/2FQ0uWa), and PhD candidate Kiera Anderson (http://kieraanderson.com/). You can also hear audio excerpts from the performance "Come Wash with Us: Seeking Home in Story" presented by the Tasht Collective (http://www.tashtcollective.com/) during the book launch.
