Pre Conference Workshop – “Museo del Westside : A Community-Based Oral History Project”
This year’s workshop will be led by Sarah Zenaida Gould, PhD, Interim Executive Director of the Mexican American Civil Rights Institute in San Antonio. Her workshop will demonstrate how to use oral history for community-based history, storytelling, and social justice projects.
Participants will learn about essential steps, best practices, digitization strategies, and increasing public engagement in heritage conservation through oral history projects. The workshop will emphasize the importance of community trust and shared authority as well as offer examples of how oral history projects can connect to campaigns for social justice while preserving memory, ritual, and identity.
The workshop is open to all, whether attending the conference or not. To participate in this workshop, select the workshop option during registration.
