In total, more than 15 events, including workshops, public talks and artistic presentations, will take place between January and May at COHDS. Facilitated by affiliates, staff, visiting researchers and invited guests, these events will cover a wide range of topics and approaches to the discipline of oral history. All events are free, but online registration is strongly advised, as seats are limited.
