haven't been to #Winnipeg since the 90s despite my long roster of cousins living there, so I've never visited the Canadian Museum for Human Rights. But knowing what I do about its political trajectory, I'm actually pleased & impressed that they are doing a Nakba exhibit. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/culture/article-canadian-museum-for-human-rights-nakba-palestine-exhibit/ #museum #Nakba #OralHistory #Palestine

Article on #SpokenWeb - the project I am a #ResearchAssistant for- has a good overview of how vast this partnership is, and its scope and stakes. I think it's pretty neat. #DH #DigitalHumanities #literature #LiteraryAudio #recordings #authors #RightsManagement @academicchatter@a.gup.pe #OralHistory #poetry #readings #storytelling #academia #scholarship #UniversityOfAlberta

In 1975, oral historian Johnetta Brazzell used the "newly portable and increasingly affordable cassette recorder" to document the stories of everyday Black residents of the city of Pontiac, Michigan. "We're trying to locate people who lived [in Pontiac] and get eyewitness accounts of what was going on, how people lived, where they worked and, generally, just what life was like for them." https://daily.jstor.org/the-cassette-tapes-of-the-great-migration/ #essay #history #OralHistory #interviews #CassetteTapes
