The first hour of the workshop will be dedicated to properly archiving and analysing the results of an oral interview, with a particular focus on the opportunities and challenges that researchers face when doing oral history work in Central Asia. The second half of the workshop will be spent grappling with topics of accessibility, safety, complex insider-outsider positionally, multilingual note-taking, and translation, with a focus on the instructor's experience taking oral histories in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous region.
