HIST 066 PZ -Oral History: Methodology and Practice

Institution: Pitzer

Description: This course explores how scholars have used oral history methodologies to reconstruct the pasts of communities and individuals who are not frequently represented in typical historical sources. The gathering of oral histories-from women, freed slaves, colonized people, gays and lesbians, and other disadvantaged groups-has thus resulted in new understandings of historical processes. Not only will students be introduced to oral history methodologies, but they will also design and conduct oral history projects.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
