[Libs-Or] Four-part Workshop: Oral history and social justice

[HANNING Darci C * SLO]

Greetings,

Information on this four-part workshop just came across my inbox and I wanted to share it for those of you who might be interested:

Oral History and Social Justice, four sessions, 10:00a PT, Tuesdays: Sept 14, Sept 21, Sept 28, Oct 5
Registration link: https://forms.gle/5dpTkZXqpmnTxvLF7

This four part workshop will provide an overview of ways in which oral history projects may be a powerful tool for preserving and honoring the knowledge of marginalized communities in order to achieve social justice. Oral history helps us to understand the past as well as our present circumstances and can help us to understand how to change our conditions to shape a more just future. This workshop will examine how oral history projects may complement other forms of resistance such as community organizing and participatory action research.  Although primarily designed for folks interested in or already conducting oral history projects with community based organizations, this workshop is open to all.

Each workshop will be 45 minutes long, including a 30 minute presentation and 15 minute Q&A.

There will be homework!

Instructor
Lynn Lewis is a community organizer, oral historian, and educator.  She founded the Picture the Homeless Oral History Project with long time homeless leaders of the organization to document their struggle for human and civil rights, exploring what that history means to the homeless leaders who shaped it.

Previously, Lynn worked at Picture the Homeless for 17 years.  Her primary interests are in the areas of civil rights, particularly ending discriminatory policing, as well as Community Land Trusts and the right to housing. She is the author of Love and Collective Resistance: Lessons from the Picture the Homeless Oral History Project.
