Columbia University 2007 Summer Institute on Oral History


The Columbia University Oral History Research Office will hold its
annual Summer Institute from June 11 – June 22, 2007. The theme of this
year’s Institute is "Telling the World: Oral History, Struggles for
Justice and Human Rights Dialogues." During this year’s program we will
explore how oral history theory and method contribute to an
understanding of the political, historical and personal dimensions of
human rights dialogues. Joining us in the creation of this year’s
program is the International Center for Transitional Justice, whose
staff will collaborate with leading oral historians to consider how
various practices of truth-telling apply to specific cases of human
rights struggles, and to the personal, cultural and political processes
of dialogue. This institute is designed for students, scholars,
documentarians, and human rights workers. The program for the Institute
will be available on the Oral History Research Office web page on the
week of March 12, 2007. The deadline for applications is April 15, 2007.
The tuition is $1,000. Housing is available at a reduced cost.
