November 16: Introduction to Oral History

Read the indicated section of Baylor University’s oral history website. Click under “Manual” on the right side of the web page to access “Introduction to Oral History” (a PDF file); then read pp. 1-14.  In class we will examine the nuts and bolts of doing oral history, from planning a project to setting up, preparing for, and conducting interviews, to analyzing the resulting recordings.

Also, note that your first draft of the interpretive essay is due today (not on Nov. 13, as was originally planned).
