Chung-Ang University in Seoul, South KoreaKeynote speaker: Prof. Alessandro Portelli (University of Rome La Sapienza)The Korean Oral History Association (KOHA) is celebrating its tenth anniversary in 2019. KOHA was founded in 2009 to promote more systemic oral history research based on 20 years of oral history practices and research in South Korea. This means moving forward from collecting oral histories to establishing oral history research as a formidable historiography and new ways of writing and doing history. Since its foundation, KOHA has worked to promote and educate good practices of oral history collection including systemic archives. As an interdisciplinary association of humanities and social sciences including anthropology, history, sociology, folk studies, Korean literature, and political science, KOHA also seeks to build a network of diverse oral history scholars, archives, institutions, and organizations.To celebrate the ten-year anniversary, the 2019 conference with the theme “Beyond ‘Oral History’ and Back to Oral Histories” will not only look back at the last decade of Korean oral history but also look forward to its future. In addition, it will have a limited number of international sessions (a total of 3 sessions or min. 7 presenters). International scholars, researchers, educators, and others are encouraged to submit proposals for papers or sessions to be considered for the program. Topics should include clear evidence of oral history research or provide new insights into the methodology with a regional focus preferably on South Korea or Asia but are not limited to a particular region.Both complete session and individual paper proposals are welcome. Individual presentations must not exceed twenty minutes. The morning-session (2 hours) format includes a minimum of three presentations and remarks by 2-3 discussants, while the two afternoon sessions (1.5 hours) have a format of a minimum of two presenters and 1-2 discussants. If there is no discussant assigned, the organizing committee may assign a discussant.Please submit your proposals via email by February 11, 2019
The conference will be held on June 1 (Saturday) in Seoul, South Korea, followed on June 2 by a tour of the DMZ area and Seoul historic sites. Venue details of the conference are to be determined.

2019 Summer Institute
Columbia Center for Oral History Research
Oral History from the Margins to the Center: Narrating the Politics of our Times
Discussion published by Amy Starecheski on Monday, January 28, 2019
What do oral historians, journalists, and scholars of contemporary history do when the president of the United States, supported by numerous members of Congress, tells blatant lies and strives to undermine our access to traditionally reliable sources of information and democratic processes? What do oral historians, journalists, and scholars of contemporary history do when scientific knowledge is dismissed as mere opinion? What do oral historians, journalists, and scholars of contemporary history do when false information is knowingly transmitted with the precise aim of enhancing distrust?
The 2019 Summer Institute in Oral History will focus on the challenges we face in documenting the political present when secrecy and distortions of truth threaten the most vulnerable in open societies. What role does public memory and the search for meaning play in rescuing and preserving the stories that we most need to hear? Specifically, we will explore what journalists, oral historians, advocates, and scholars of the present can learn from each other, as we sharpen our skills and awareness of how to document the stories that we most need to record and disseminate.
The overarching goal of the 2019 Institute will focus on the role of oral history in opening up multiple accounts of truth and the search for meaning that otherwise may remain marginal – moving them to the center of our political discourse.
The 2019 Institute will take place June 17–June 28 at Columbia University.

Doug Boyd, a leading oral historian and digital expert, will speak to the promise and risks of the digital age: including protection in a time of enhanced surveillance.

by Arlene Crampsie
The Oral History Network of Ireland (OHNI) is pleased to announce its 2019 conference on the theme of “Oral History in a Digital World.” Collecting oral history in digital formats and putting recordings online is increasingly becoming standard practice for oral historians. As such, this conference offers a timely opportunity to consider the possibilities and challenges offered by technological advances and wider accessibility to collections through online platforms. This two-day conference will take place at Mary Immaculate College, Limerick, on Friday, June 28, and Saturday, June 29, 2019.
Continuing OHNI’s tradition of inviting keynote speakers of international renown, we are delighted to welcome to this year’s conference Doug Boyd, Director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at University of Kentucky, past president of the Oral History Association, and manager of Oral History in the Digital Age. Doug is a key innovator in the archiving and dissemination of oral history and leads the team that developed the free, open-source OHMS system which synchronises text with audio and video online. He is the co-editor (with Mary A. Larson) of the book Oral History and Digital Humanities: Voice, Access, and Engagement, published by Palgrave MacMillan in 2014.
Conference contributions are welcome in a range of formats:
- Standard conference papers (20 minutes)
- 10-minute presentations for our “Moments” panels, focusing on outstanding or memorable individuals, experiences, and/or incidents that influenced or changed the way the presenter practices oral history
- Posters and visual presentations

- From tapes and CDs to digital formats
- Increasing access and engagement with digital tools
- Digital oral history in the classroom
