SW 341 - Oral History; Theory & Practice

This course uses interactive listening to provide an understanding of the theory and practice of producing oral histories. It will benefit a budding historian, anthropologist, folklorist, sociologist, or archivist, and anyone wanting to improve listening skills and desiring to preserve an otherwise undocumented aspect of our past. Participants practice oral history interviewing and transcription. The final product is a transcribed oral history interview of sufficient historical research value to warrant inclusion in the Center of Southwest Studies collection.
