Join us in marvelous Melbourne for the 2024 OHA Biennial Conference – from 21-24 November 2024.

The 23rd IOHA Conference will be held 16-19 September, 2025 in Kraków, Poland. The theme of the conference is Re-Thinking Oral History.

Oral history today faces both old and new challenges with long-lasting and unpredictable consequences: the crisis of liberal democracy, growing tensions in international politics, climate change with its devastating outcomes on human life, increasing inequalities, wars, and mass migrations. All of the foregoing not only affect the conditions in which oral history is made, but also compels us to rethink its very aim. For Central and Eastern Europe, the full-scale Russian aggression in Ukraine beginning in February 2022 and its consequences are an especially painful reminder of that. Though oral history was, and still is a part of history, it has always been conscious of the responsibility (oral) history has for the current society. Aware of that mission, we encourage the global oral history community to return to the core questions of our practice: what kind of histories should we
tell and pass on to the current and future generations?

Proposals for individual papers and session panels are now open and must be submitted by 31 July 2024.
