CFP: 2008 Oral History Association Meeting, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age"
CFP: 2008 Oral History Association Meeting, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age"
Location: Pennsylvania, United States
October 15 - 19, 2008
Sheraton Station Square Hotel in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania
Deadline: January 15, 2008
The Oral History Association invites proposals for papers and presentations for its 2008 annual meeting to be held October 15 - 19, 2008 at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania.
As always, the Program Committee of the OHA welcomes proposals for presentations on a variety of topics. In keeping with this year's theme, "A Convergence of Interests: Oral History in the Digital Age," the 2008 Annual Meeting will focus special attention on oral history and digital technologies.
Emerging digital technologies continue to expand options for the recording, preservation, and use of oral history interviews and other historically significant sights and sounds, to expand audiences, and to draw together once separate communities of practitioners. In doing so, they raise perplexing practical, legal, ethical, and theoretical questions.
For its 2008 meeting, the Oral History Association extends an invitation to teachers and students, archivists and librarians, Luddites and media theorists, web and exhibit designers, documentary producers and media artists, ethnographers, family and public historians, program officers and curators, scholars from a broad and growing range of disciplines, social and political activists, and others interested in sharing their experiences, projects, concerns, ideas, and questions about oral history. We encourage researchers studying the Ohio Valley , technology, industrialization and deindustrialization, and labor history to submit proposals. In recognition of the important work taking place outside the United States , we also hope to see a significant international presence at the meeting.
In the spirit of this meeting, the OHA Program Committee encourages presenters to consider a variety of formats and presentation methods, including traditional panels with chair and discussant, roundtables, performances, listening and viewing sessions, workshops, and poster sessions.
Once one of the United States ' great industrial metropolises, Pittsburgh has been a national and international center of technological innovations-including the home of the nation's first radio station- industrial processes, and intense struggles between capital and labor. Battered by deindustrialization in the late 1900s, the city has undergone an urban renaissance and today offers a rich concentration of museums, historic sites, universities and colleges, and an active arts scene. The Oral History Association is fortunate to be meeting in Pittsburgh during celebrations of the 250 th anniversary of the city's founding.
Proposal format: submit four copies of the proposal. For full sessions, submit a title, a session abstract of not more than two pages, and a one-page vita or resume for each participant. For individual proposals, submit a one-page abstract and a one-page vita or resume of the presenter. Each submission must be accompanied by a cover sheet, which can be printed from the OHA Web site: www.dickinson.edu/oha . Click here for COVER SHEET.
Proposals may be submitted by mail, or email, and should be postmarked or sent by January 15, 2008. Submit proposals directly to the OHA office at the address below.
E-mail attachments must include the "cover sheet" in electronic form and must be one complete document in Microsoft WORD format. Please do not send separate attachements. Attachments should be sent to oha@dickinson.edu. Should you not receive email confirmation by February 5th, please contact the OHA office to make sure your submission has been received.
