The OHLA initiative is pleased to announce a Call for Proposals for the 2017-2018 academic year. We invite faculty or faculty/administrator teams from the Great Lakes Colleges Association to submit proposals for oral history projects that focus upon the teaching of oral history theory and practice. With an emphasis on expanding oral history pedagogy in the liberal arts, stipends will be awarded for projects that afford students opportunities to participate in inquiry-based learning through oral history.
OHLA will review proposals for newly designed projects as well as existing, ongoing endeavors. OHLA seeks to encourage faculty and student collaborations wherein oral history methodologies are emphasized and facilitated, and will support such undertakings by providing advice from experienced consultants, sharing access to model forms and documents, giving instruction in digital technologies, providing archival support, and issuing stipends for project leaders.
OHLA Faculty Fellow: Recipient will be awarded a stipend of $3,600/one academic year of participation. Faculty awardees will: Integrate oral history into coursework, implement a digital humanities project with student participation, publish and share materials such as syllabi and blog posts, and write a peer-reviewed case study.
