Contributors to the book Oral History and Education

I am writing this time to invite you to submit articles exploring the utilization of Oral History methodology on educational projects.

Following the first volume about the oral history methodology already in press (prologued by Giovanni Levi) from the collection edited by Corpus, we are now proposing a second volume on Oral History and Education.

The idea is to get from you articles where it is visible the way in which this resource is utilized to conduct projects having as its objective the utilization of Oral History in educational contexts, from the University all the way to rural schools. Of fundamental importance is for those reading these articles to be able to both learn history, and become owners of the specific methodology and its application as a pedagogical source.

The deadline to receive these materials is March 1, 2010.

Many thanks!
