Oral History Association Annual Meeting 2009
Moving Beyond the Interview
The Oral History Association invites proposals for papers and presentations for its 2009 annual meeting to be held October 14-18, 2009, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville , Kentucky.
OHA Program Committees often choose a focal theme for the annual meeting from among the many dimensions of oral history practice. Our approach for 2009 is a bit different: we identify a broader umbrella under which we hope the meeting, structurally and substantively, can put many of these dimensions in productive dialogue with each other.
This conference also marks the first time that the Oral History Association is using an online submission process, which presents new challenges and a great opportunity for future growth. Bear with us if you have questions and be sure to contact us with questions.
If you would like to use the email submission process that has been used the last few years, please download the proposal cover sheet and email submission guidelines here.

Moving Beyond the Interview
October 14, 2009 – October 18, 2009Conference Theme: Moving Beyond the Interview
Collecting and preserving stories via interviews long has been the central focus of oral history method and practice. The 2009 Annual Meeting celebrates this basic unit of our field, the interview, by placing it within a circle of critical issues necessarily encountered in working with oral histories—in “doing something” with the materials oral historians collect. Too often relegated to the methodological sidelines, these include technological, philosophical, analytical, archival, collaborative, ethical, educational, and public aspects of working with oral history interviews.The Oral History Association invites proposals for papers and presentations for its 2009 annual meeting to be held October 14-18, 2009, at the Galt House Hotel in Louisville , Kentucky.
