This qualitative arts-based research aims to provide evidence on the viability of "Narradrama as a Three-Act Play" (NTAP), a group process focusing on the effectiveness of selected interventions as ...well as on the strength and wisdom gained by participants. NTAP combines narrative therapy and drama therapy as participants explore, develop, and reflect upon preferred roles through a series of exercises in externalization, definitional ceremonies, and witnessing practices. This article builds on earlier research on NTAP with a mostly indigenous group. Lessons learned from the earlier published oral history study were incorporated and applied to the present process of working with a multicultural group of six women aged 32 to 64 years, enrolled in a 7-week workshop. All participants completed the process and the assessment on the viability of NTAP in gaining new insights, wisdom, and strength.
Wood Buffalo National Park is located in the heart of Dénesųłıuné homelands, where Dene people have lived from time immemorial. Central to the creation, expansion, and management of this park, Canada ...'s largest at nearly 45, 000 square kilometers, was the eviction of Dénesųłıuné people from their home, the forced separation of Dene families, and restriction of their Treaty rights. Remembering Our Relations tells the history of Wood Buffalo National Park from a Dene perspective and within the context of Treaty 8. Oral history and testimony from Dene Elders, knowledge-holders, leaders, and community members place Dénesųłıuné voices first. With supporting archival research, this book demonstrates how the founding, expansion, and management of Wood Buffalo National Park fits into a wider pattern of promises broken by settler colonial governments managing land use throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. By prioritizing Dénesųłıuné histories Remembering Our Relations deliberately challenges how Dene experiences have been erased, and how this erasure has been used to justify violence against Dénesųłıuné homelands and people. Amplifying the voices and lives of the past, present, and future, Remembering Our Relations is a crucial step in the journey for healing and justice Dénesųłıuné peoples have been pursuing for over a century.

Van der Linden offers insight on his essay on the ILO in which he knew that it could invoke a wide variety of responses. The ILO has a rich past, marked by numerous conflicts. It is an organization ...that has been and still is active on all continents, under widely different political circumstances. And it has to incorporate the contradictory interests of employers, workers, and states. Unavoidably, its successes and failures are therefore topics of ever-new controversies. Furthermore, historical research is still at a rather early stage, although the number of good studies has been growing in recent years. The archival materials are overwhelming; ILO's headquarters in Geneva alone keep more than seven thousand linear meters of occupied shelving. In addition there are many relevant archives at other locations in several continents. Besides, the ILO Century Projectâ€"a wonderful undertaking initiated by Gerry Rodgers after he had, in 2005, briefly become the director of ILO's International Institute of Labour Studies (IILS) is adding much source material through its growing collection of extensive oral history interviews with constituents and former staff members.
InSexual Revolutions in CubaCarrie Hamilton delves into the relationship between passion and politics in revolutionary Cuba to present a comprehensive history of sexuality on the island from the ...triumph of the Revolution in 1959 into the twenty-first century. Drawing on an unused body of oral history interviews as well as press accounts, literary works, and other published sources, Hamilton pushes beyond official government rhetoric and explores how the wider changes initiated by the Revolution have affected the sexual lives of Cuban citizens. She foregrounds the memories and emotions of ordinary Cubans and compares these experiences with changing policies and wider social, political, and economic developments to reveal the complex dynamic between sexual desire and repression in revolutionary Cuba.Showing how revolutionary and prerevolutionary values coexist in a potent and sometimes contradictory mix, Hamilton addresses changing patterns in heterosexual relations, competing views of masculinity and femininity, same-sex relationships and homophobia, AIDS, sexual violence, interracial relationships, and sexual tourism. Hamilton's examination of sexual experiences across generations and social groups demonstrates that sexual politics have been integral to the construction of a new revolutionary Cuban society.
Survivor oral histories have helped determine research questions in Holocaust studies and propelled the field’s largest archival efforts. With those storytellers now passing at an ever-quickening ...pace, however, some oral historians are turning to descendants as the faces of memory. These researchers work with descendants to individualize the enormity of Holocaust history in classrooms and for wider audiences. Historians recognize that succeeding generations are not eyewitnesses to the Holocaust, though they can give voice to the lived legacies of genocide. I seek to bring these experiences into my teaching in a way that also produces indelible sources for future research. To this end, I recently began teaching a course called “Holocaust Legacies and Oral History.” Students in this class each conduct a recorded interview with a descendant of survivors. Students and professor work as a team to define the historical purposes of our interviews, draft questions, and prepare. This article the results of this class in terms of pedagogies, successes, areas for improvement, and connections created between classroom and community. The methods employed in this class are affordable and usable at virtually any interested institution.
LGBTQ communities across Britain have created dozens of local history projects, especially in recent years. Springing from distinctive local towns and cities, these oral history projects have mostly, ...since 2000, been publicly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. This article compares the aims, approaches, and structures of queer community history-making over the past thirty years in two English cities, the south coast seaside resort of Brighton, nationally known as a hub of gay life, and the northern postindustrial city of Leeds. It will discuss the formation and objectives of seven LGBT, feminist, and queer oral history projects in these cities, their funding and increasing professionalisation, their local impact, and, finally, the issues raised by the shift in conceptualization from "lesbian and gay" to "queer." How the projects were formulated and how this has changed over time demonstrates the distinct ways in which community oral history-making has reflected differences in LGBTQ and queer place identity.
Building a disability archives that is accessible is an ongoing challenge. At Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, this work began a decade ago with the formation of a modest collection of scholars ...interested in disability issues. The Carleton University Disability Research Group developed as a collective of scholars, graduate students, and non-governmental organisation workers from the fields of social work, engineering, history, library, and archives, including people with disabilities. Since 2013, it has worked to collect, archive, discuss and display histories of disability in Canada, using various media. This paper documents and analyzes the aspects of this work linked to information studies, from the role of archivists and librarians to the making of archives and exhibits with, for, and about people with disability. It presents innovative decisions, introduces unexpected benefits for all in the light of the project of a critical disability archival method and discusses the potential of universities as a site of practice. It takes its most recent project, the Oral histories of activists in the disability rights movement in Canada (1970–2020) as the main case.
