Welcome!

Welcome to the Warwick Oral History Network. We are an interdisciplinary network engaged in theoretical and practical issues involved in interviewing for research. We offer a variety of academic seminars and workshops which are open to all, as well as guidance and support for people's oral history projects. Use this website to meet our members, find out about our events, and explore examples of the research being undertaken at Warwick and in the local community.

Next event: TBA.

Details TBA.

If you're working on a project which involves oral history or interviews and you need help with anything (e.g. ethical approval, consent forms, reaching out to interviewees, conducting the interview), we are happy to advise. Email: oralhistorynetwork@warwick.ac.uk

Got an idea for an event?

If you've got an idea for an event, or want us to help you organise or promote something, email oralhistorynetwork@warwick.ac.uk
