The Ethics of Oral History
What is oral history? And what are the ethical principles that should guide one's work in the field? Join Alissa Rae Funderburk, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Oral Historian for the Margaret Walker Center at the HBCU Jackson State University, for this lecture-style workshop which will offer a brief overview of oral history, along with ethical guidelines, useful vocabulary, and the importance of deep listening. Tuesday, 11/22 at 6:30PM
Studio 20 Survey
For those unfamiliar, Studio 20 South is Noah Webster’s brand new makerspace with technology available to the public by appointment to enable 3D printing, sound and video recording and editing, vinyl and paper cutting, media conversion, VR experiences, and much more. Because a makerspace is nothing without the community that makes use of it, we wanted to ask you as a community what sorts of programming you would like to take part in. Our aim is to utilize public response in future plans for free workshops, classes, exhibitions, speakers, and other offerings. To access the survey, please click HERE.
