History 497AA - ST-Thry & Meth of Oral History

Description not available at this time

Open to Seniors, Juniors & Sophomores only. The purpose of this combined graduate and advanced undergraduate course is to familiarize students with the evolution of scholarship on oral history theory and methods over the past several decades and offer training in oral history practice. The focus of our oral history work will be the decade of the 1970s, a time of political and cultural ferment and progressive and retrogressive changes. The antiwar movement, the civil Rights and Black Power movements, the feminist and gay liberation movements and diverse conservative backlash to these movements experienced diverse fates during these ten years.
