This seminar course introduces students to the methodologies and theories of oral history. The assigned readings, class discussions, and assignments are designed to sharpen the critical reading, writing, and methodological skills of upper-level students. Through group discussion, skillsbased workshops, and project development each student will create an interviewbased project. After receiving approval for the project from the Nipissing University Research Ethics Board (NUREB), students conduct three to five interviews, keep an oral history journal, write a term paper, and transcribe one interview.
