2025 Symposium: members’ voices EoI
OHV members are invited to submit an expression of interest to present in person at the Members’ Voices session of our 2025 OHV Symposium and AGM.
The Symposium is on Friday 21 November at the Museo Italiano, 199 Faraday St Carlton.
The event is from 9.45 am – 2.20 pm followed by the AGM which will finish by 3.15 pm.
The Members’ Voices session is a fantastic opportunity to hear from our members about their wonderful oral history work, and to learn from each other’s experiences.
We’re seeking proposals that fit with our symposium theme:
Sharing complex oral histories with broad audiences: navigating the opportunities and challenges
We welcome lightning presentations (about 10 minutes) sharing how you have navigated an opportunity or challenge in presenting oral history to a public audience.
To submit an expression of interest:
• Tell us in 150 words about what you’d like to present. Please ensure your presentation will include discussion of a dilemma or opportunity in sharing oral history with a public audience. Some examples might include issues of consent and collaboration, challenges in maintaining historical integrity while presenting ‘digestible’ content and any complexities of ethical practice.
• Include your contact details (email and phone number)
• Email your expression of interest to contact.oralhistoryvictoria@gmail.com by Friday 31 October.
We will notify you by 7 November to confirm if your expression of interest has been accepted.
Please note, presenters will need to register to attend the event in person.
We hope to see you on Friday the 21st November!
