Graduate Internships in Oral/Public History

Graduate or Postdoctoral Internships in Oral History / Public History
Concordia University
Montréal, Canada

The Department of History at Concordia University is pleased to offer 
TWO $8,000 internships to incoming MA or Ph.D. students, or to an 
incoming SSHRC post-doctoral fellow. The successful applicants will 
pursue a project in the research fields of oral history and/or public 
history (broadly defined). Proposals that relate to the working class 
experience in Canada and/or the United States are particularly welcome. 
The successful applicants will work under the direction of Dr. Steven 
High, Canada Research Chair in Public History. During the 12 month 
internship, the graduate student or postdoctoral scholar will help run 
the Concordia Oral History Research Laboratory (COHRL), part of 
Concordia's new Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling.

History at Concordia University's Department of History, located in 
downtown Montreal, is home to a number of public historians who 
specialize in oral history, digital storytelling and the study of public 
memory and commemoration.
A new undergraduate public history stream (with internship) will 
commence in September 2006. Incoming graduate students will therefore be 
part of a vibrant community of scholars.

The Concordia Oral History Research Laboratory (COHRL) The digital 
revolution is changing how we "think" and "do" history. The COHRL aims 
to use digital technology to capture and index videotaped oral history 
interviews. The lab provides facilities for digital oral history 
recording and analysis as well as a dedicated sound room and video 
conferencing room. The aim is to push Concordia to the forefront of oral 
history research in Canada.

Incoming students or post-doctoral fellows interested in this 
opportunity should send a letter of application (1-2 pages), including a
