Bard College Berlin Presents

Feminist Oral History – a two-part workshop with Dr. Nayera Abdelrahman Soliman

This two-part workshop takes place on Saturday, 8 February and Saturday, 22 February from 3-6 pm 

If you are interested in documenting stories of ordinary people, if you are interested in writing histories that reflect the voices of those in the margins, if you are interested in writing a reflective feminist history, then you need to learn about oral history theory and methodology.

In this two-part workshop, we will explore both the theory and practice of oral history, with a focus on feminist influences in its development. The first part will center on the theory and methodology of feminist oral history, after which participants will be invited to conduct their own oral history interviews. In the second part of the workshop, we will review participants’ work and explore existing online oral history archives from the North Africa and West Asia region. Toward the end of the workshop, we will reflect on what makes oral history feminist and how it can inform our research, studies, and understanding of how history can be written.

The number of participants is limited, so please apply for the workshop at your earliest convenience (by midnight on 31 January at the latest) using this form. You will be notified if you have been accepted and will receive further instructions for preparation by 3 February. If you have any questions about the event, please email BCB faculty Agata Lisiak at [email protected].
