Storytelling
for Justice
A Roundtable Discussion
on
Oral History and Narrative Research
DataCenter
and The Edge of Each Other's Battles Project
invite you to take part in a roundtable discussion to explore
how oral history and other narrative research methods (that
is, story-telling) can promote grassroots community-based
campaigns for social justice. We are bringing together community
organizers and academic scholars who use story-telling as
a means for community organizing and as social research. This
discussion is an opportunity to examine the roles and impact
of community-led community documentation, using the community’s
own terms, language, and format, in empowerment of grassroots
voices for long-term social change.
Wednesday,
December 10, 2008
5:00 pm -7:30 pm
Tower Building Room
T450 (the tallest building on campus)
Laney College

Light refreshments will be served.
If you are a community organizer, please think of an academic
scholar you have worked with who might accompany you and benefit
from and contribute to the discussion. If you are an academic
scholar, please invite a member of a community-based organization
or campaign you have worked with and/or bring (or send) a
student who might benefit from and contribute to this discussion.
