Oral History Review (Winter-Spring 2011)

Oxford University Press has published the Winter-Spring Issue of Oral History Review. This journal is the official publication of Oral History Association in the US.
This journal is published two times a year and this issue is No.1 of Volume 38. Kimberly K. Porter from North Dakota University is the editor of this journal and a group of American academics work as editorial board.
Glenn Whitman as the guest editor of this issue writes in her introduction:

"In the thirteen years since The Oral History Review dedicated an entire issue to pedagogy, there has been an explosion in the number of projects and resources available to grade-to-graduate school educators and program leaders. This explosion was possible only because of three groups. First, courageous and innovative teachers who recognized the transformative potential of oral history as an educational methodology. Second, students who wanted authentic opportunities to be historians. Third, interviewees, who recognized that by sharing their stories they were not only providing a living perspective on history but also serving as teachers for each of our classes. In short, this special issue is about possibilities, those that arise when educators, their students, and interviewees collaborate to collect, preserve, and publish the memories of the celebrated and uncelebrated voices and experiences of the past."
