Displaced childhoods: Oral history and traumatic experiences
Annual Conference of the Oral History Society at the University of Reading, United Kingdom
When: July 13-14
Deadline: Jan 21
Papers are invited that draw on current projects or recently completed work using oral history and related methods, which address the themes of disrupted and traumatic childhoods.
This conference aims to bring together oral history practitioners in academic, community and therapeutic settings who explore the effects that evacuation, forced migration or long-term separation can have on children. Oral history interviewing is often used to document the experiences and study the long-term psychological and emotional impact of disrupted childhoods as a result of war, conflict, evacuation or natural and civil disasters.
