Dear all,
Please find below details of the Oral History Network of Ireland's third conference - Making Connections: Oral History and Community - to be held in Kilkenny City, 12 - 13th September 2014.
As with our previous conferences, our objective is to bring together individual oral history collectors, local community groups, curators, archivists, academics and policy practitioners in order to encourage a range of lively debate and discussion across the broad oral history spectrum. In continuing with our tradition of inviting keynote speakers of international renown, we are delighted to welcome Dr. Rob Perks, Lead Curator of Oral History in the British Library and Secretary of the Oral History Society in the UK to this year’s conference.
The conference theme focuses on the connections between oral history and community. We invite papers that deal with community in its broadest sense. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to):
Community group led oral history projects
Oral history projects that have studied various communities
The role played by community groups in collecting and in preserving oral histories
The role of oral history in creating and deepening a sense of community
Developing a sense of community among oral historians
If you would like to propose a paper, please submit an abstract (of not more than 250 words) that includes your name; the name of your group, organisation or institution; and your email address to info@oralhistorynetworkireland.ie before Friday 8th August 2014 at 5pm. In addition, we are organising two community-focussed practitioner panels entitled ‘Moments in Oral History’, where speakers will give 10-minute presentations on outstanding moments, descriptions of people encountered, or reflections on the challenges and rewards of the Oral History experience (see call for contributions on our website). The conference committee’s decision on successful abstracts will be communicated to potential presenters in early August.
Registration for the conference is now open through our website http://www.oralhistorynetworkireland.ie/2014-conference. For further information or queries please contact us through info@oralhistorynetworkireland.ie.
Best wishes,
Arlene

Operation Beit al-Moqaddas and Liberation of Khorramshahr
After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.Memoirs of Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi
Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi is a cleric from Isfahan. Before the revolution, he was the imam of the Fallah Mosque – which was later renamed Abuzar Mosque. By his presence and efforts, Abuzar Mosque soon became a base for supporters of the Imam and the revolution. After the victory of the revolution, he played a role in uniting forces and maintaining political vitality in southwest Tehran.The Necessity of Receiving Feedback in Oral History
Whenever we engage in a task, we naturally seek ways to evaluate our performance — to correct shortcomings and enhance strengths. Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.Sir Saeed
The book “Sir Saeed” is a documentary [narrative] of the life of martyr Seyyed Mohammad Saeed Jafari, written by Mohammad Mehdi Hemmati and published by Rahiyar Publications. In March 2024, this book was recognized as one of the selected documentary biographies in the 21st edition of the Sacred Defense Book of the Year Award. The following text is a review on the mentioned book.
