Anna Jarrett, professional — and travelling — storyteller, takes a fresh look at oral history philosophy and practice. This presentation gives insights into the sensitivities of working with stories at every stage of oral history production from research to final representation. Discover the roles of listeners, story custodians, community cultural workers, media producers — and friends! In the afternoon Rosemary Block, the State Library’s Curator of Oral History, will conduct a practical seminar on oral history practice.
