The Centre for Oral History and Tradition (COHT) presents:

Baba as Oral Historian: The Challenges of Collaborative Community-Implicated Practice
Guest Speaker:  Dr. Stacey Zembrzycki (Dawson College, Montreal)
Day/Date:  Wednesday, March 15, 2017
Time:  3:00 p.m.
Location:  B-660 (University Hall)

Abstract:  All oral historians start from a common premise that seeks to redefine and redistribute power, both within and outside the interview, but we chart our own courses through our practice and the people with whom we work.  In this public lecture, Stacey Zembrzycki will reflect upon the deeply collaborative work she did with her Ukrainian Catholic grandmother, her Baba, when trying to uncover the history of Sudbury's Ukrainian community.  She will speak to how a theory - sharing authority - works in practice, detailing the ways she lost authority, wrestled to get it back, and finally came to share it with Baba.
