[Commlist] CfP International Summer School, “Oral History Meets European Studies. Sources, Tools and Methods in the Digital Age”

CfP International Summer School, “Oral History Meets European Studies. 
Sources, Tools and Methods in the Digital Age”, **3 – 6 July 2023, 
Luxembourg *


The Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C^2 DH), 
together with the European University Institute (Florence, Italy) and 
the Max Planck Institute for European Legal History (Frankfurt, 
Germany), organises a Summer School to be held at the Maison Robert 
Schuman in Luxembourg City from 3 to 6 July 2023. The Summer School 
invites students to explore methods of oral history and to test digital 
tools, while it pays attention to how digital sources may shape 
narratives in contemporary European history.

The Summer School is geared at PhD candidates as well as early career 
scholars (postdoctoral students) specialising in European History / 
European studies, who use oral history in their research. The programme 
will tackle the main stages in the production, uses, and archiving of 
oral history interviews through a set of transversal workshops, 
presentations, and roundtable discussions with experts. The Summer 
School will be enriched by hands-on activities, in which participants 
will test the discussed tools and methods. Students will have the 
opportunity to present their research projects and to receive feedback 
from their peers and experts. In addition, the participants should be 
offered a guided visit to the European Parliament.

Some transversal main topics to be discussed during the summer school are:

1.*Co-production*: How to conduct interviews, methodologies 
(questionnaires, etc.), technical aspects (sound and video recording), 
ethics, memory, and remembrance.

2.*Curation*: Data management and indexation, transcription (from oral 
to written record), software, uses of audio-visual material, 
digitization, and digitalization.

3.*Analysis*: How to integrate digital oral sources in an academic 
discourse, legal aspects (authorship and copyright) and data treatment.

4.*Archiving*: Individual collections and historical archives.

5.*Sharing*: Communication, exhibitions, websites, museums, media, and 
public history projects.

The working language is English. Applicants should send a 300-word 
abstract detailing their research topic and how they use oral history 
interviews along with questions they would like to discuss/deepen and a 
short bio. Applications should be sent to (valerie.schafer /at/ uni.lu) 
<mailto:(valerie.schafer /at/ uni.lu)>.

Deadline for the submission of applications is *31 January 2023*. The 
organisers will provide accommodation and lunches. Participants need to 
make their own travel arrangements and they must bring their own computer.
