Announcement of the Program for “Voices Unbound: Lecture Series on Digital Oral History”

Voices Unbound? Exploring new and/or possible directions in digital and experimental oral history: Ringvorlesung seminar series in Winter Semester 2024/25

25.10.2024

What? A lecture series co-organised by TU Darmstadt, University College London, Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and the Max-Planck-Institut für Wissenschaftsgeschichte. The series is convened by Julianne Nyhan (TU Darmstadt), Andrew Flinn, Andreas Vlachidis, and Marco Humbel (UCL), Shih-Pei Chen (Max Planck Institute), and Gerben Zaagsma (C²DH), offering an important way of keeping up to date with the methodological and theoretical state of the art in digital oral history. We invited speakers to present work on recent technological developments that may hold promise for digital oral history. In this way, the seminar series appeals to (digital) oral historians, digital humanists and scholars of the history of information, memory and knowledge systems.

Where? The lecture series is offered in a hybrid, online format, with TU Darmstadt students attending the lecture hall in person and other colleagues joining remotely. Talks will be recorded and published on the media channels of the respective universities to ensure a permanent record of the symposium.

Registration is required to attend the seminar online. Registration link will be provided closer to the day of the first talk.

When? Mondays 14.25 – 15.45 from 14 October 2024 – 3 February 2025
