5th Global Conference: STORYTELLING
Human life is conducted through story, because the telling of stories comes naturally to us. Almost every time we speak we engage in storytelling, and sharing stories is arguably the most important way we have of communicating with others about who we are and what we believe; about what we are doing and have done; about our hopes and fears; about what we value and what we don’t. We make sense of our lives by telling the stories that we live; and we learn about other lives by listening to the stories told by others. Sometimes, under the influence of the culture in which we are immersed, we live our lives in ways that try to create the stories we want to be able to tell about them.2014 Annual Meeting Call for Papers
Motion suggests many things: action and transformation; dynamism and fluidity; migration and the power to move. By its very nature, oral history is constantly in motion – in the evolving relationship between the two parties in an interview; in the interplay between the past and the present; in conjunction with emergent technologies and diverse applications. Oral history also has played a crucial role in documenting and understanding the central movements of our time, from a broad array of social movements to transnational migrations.The first OHAI conference, 18th-19th November 2013, Bangalore, India
There has been a widespread recognition of the fact that that the field of †oral history has contributed widely to the inclusion of people who have †been left out of official histories. Oral history is now seen both as a †method and as a field that records memories and experiences of individuals â€and communities whose voices would remain unheard otherwise.IOHA CONFERENCE/MASTERCLASS

The IOHA Conference/Master Class Scholarship Fund aims to bring together international oral history scholars from inside and outside the academic realm, to continue building a unique global platform for professional exchange and comparative oral history inquiry.Picturing the Family: Media, Narrative, Memory
This conference will set out to explore how concepts of family have been acted out, reinvented, or deconstructed, through various media including the visual arts, literature, and museum exhibitions, across the centuries. The family picture will be considered both in its figurative and art factual forms. We will look at the significance of the family picture in literary works or films (e.g. W.G. Sebald, Georges Perec¹s W, or the Memory of Childhood, or Pedro Almodovar¹s All About my Mother), and we will consider alternative concepts of family and kinship as pictured in paintings, photographs, graphic novels, and other visual media.War, Memory, and Gender: An Interdisciplinary Conference
The past several decades have seen an explosion of scholarly interest in the subject of war and gender. At the same time, the study of collective or cultural memory, especially in connection with armed conflict, has become a veritable cottage industry. This conference seeks to bring these two areas of intensive study into dialogue with each other,exploring the complex ways in which gender shapes war memory and war memory shapes gender.History Wars, Wars in History & Other Southern African Histories

We were supposed to experience a hot summer day at seven oclock in the afternoon. I got to his house in ten minutes to seven, but I knew that working with the militant had special rules. One of them is punctuality. I went up and down the alley several times to meet this Ironman at his house. When I saw him from afar at military conferences, his sense of toughness was evident in demeanor.
