Event Details
The Oral History Network of Ireland (OHNI) will hold its 2023 annual conference in person at Dooley’s Hotel, Waterford on Friday 16th and Saturday 17th June 2023.
The theme of the conference is ‘Oral History: Power and Resistance’ and the deadline for abstracts is Friday 28 April 2023. Graham Smith, Professor of Oral History at Newcastle University, is the keynote speaker.
At every stage of the process, oral history projects may be impacted by and engage with issues of power and resistance. Oral histories offer unique insights into the operations of power and resistance in our societies in the past and present. This is not confined to issues of political power and resistance but can include everything from power dynamics within personal relationships, to understanding minority-majority group experiences. Who exercises power, how it is used and how it can be leveraged are key questions for oral historians. Similarly, what is resistance, what forms it takes and how it may or may not effect social change are questions that have been explored with the assistance of oral histories. Power and resistance are also considerations at every level in the creation of an oral history – whose stories are told, how they’re told, the power (or lack thereof) exercised by interviewees and interviewers, and the purpose of oral history itself.

Event Details
The Oral History Society, United Kingdom, will hold its 50th anniversary annual conference in Nottingham 23-24 June 2023. The theme is ‘Making Histories Together‘.
Oral history is about working together: with interviewees, within projects and across all kinds of partnerships. Co-creation and collaborative dialogue are at the heart of oral history, and the relationships between the interviewer and the interviewee can be as fruitful and successful as they can be complex and difficult.

Event Details
The 41st Australian Historical Association (AHA) Conference, will be hosted by the Australian Catholic University on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne from 3 to 6 July 2023. The theme is ‘Milestones’.
About the conference
The year 1973 was a big one. Australia granted diplomatic recognition to the People’s Republic of China, the Sydney Opera House opened its doors, and the White Australia Policy was declared ‘buried’. Globally, the United Kingdom joined the European Union, Idi Amin expelled Uganda’s Asian population, and the oil crisis engulfed the world. It also marked the year that Australian historians first formed a professional organisation. Much of course remains unfinished: Indigenous peoples’ struggles for land rights and sovereignty, women’s demands for an end to the unspoken violence of male power, and of course, the necessity of a liveable human environment. We have chosen the theme of ‘Milestones’ to mark the 50th anniversary of the Australian Historical Association, and to encourage reflection: on the historical profession in Australia, how far the nation has come, and the many things it still has to deliver. But equally, we encourage participants working in any field of history to challenge easy answers offered by the comforts of teleology. Milestones mark progress towards a predestined goal, after all, and assumptions around progress and improvement were central to the colonial enterprise. Milestones can conceal as much as they illuminate, and our experiences of the ongoing pandemic render strange any assumption of time moving at one set speed. Hosted by Australian Catholic University on Wurundjeri land in Melbourne, this conference will be an opportunity to take stock of what has been, interrogate the place of historical knowledge and teaching in contemporary society, and ponder potential futures.
Deadline for proposals
Submissions have now closed and authors will be contacted some time in mid-March 2023.

Event Details
The 22nd International Oral History Association (IOHA) Conference is scheduled for Rio de Janiero, Brazil from 25-28 July 2023. The host is the School of Social Sciences of the Getulio Vargas Foundation, the Center for Research and Documentation of Contemporary Brazilian History (FGV CPDOC).
The theme of the conference is Oral History in a Digital and Audiovisual World.
Twenty-five years after hosting the 10th International Oral History Conference, in June 1998 in Rio de Janeiro, FGV CPDOC once again hosts the world’s most important meeting of the Oral History community. If back in 1998, a context during which a South American country held the event for the first time, a number of concerns specific to the turn of the millennium were posed to congress participants, we can ask: what about oral history in the present time?
Updating this question more than ten years later, we realize that digital and audiovisual technologies impact and permeate oral history debates around the world. The use of video capture in interviews, documentary production and the potentialities of the digital and the challenges regarding its preservation are some of the concerns we have noticed in conferences and recent oral history projects. Still, the use of digital technologies and videoconference tools in the production of interviews has been employed, with parsimony, since the 2010s.

Event Details
The Professional Historians Australia will hold its national conference in Adelaide, South Australia on 16 and 17 September 2023.
The theme of the conference will be Other Histories: Other Audiences. The aim is to showcase the diversity of work undertaken by professional historians and explore challenges confronting them as they work to contracts with clients and in areas beyond the academy: work frequently extends from the concept stage through to production in a variety of formats.
The South Australian PHA organising committee will review and select papers. Places in the conference program are limited. Those who have papers accepted will be notified by the end of April.
All speakers — except keynote speakers — will be required to cover the cost of conference registration and accommodation.
Program details will be available mid-year when bookings will open.
The organisers intend offering workshops on the Friday prior to the conference for early attendees, and will provide the opportunity for appropriate site visits afterwards. There will be an informal dinner on the Friday evening and a formal conference dinner with a guest speaker on the Saturday evening.
The PHA is looking for lively audiences with the chance to network in Adelaide but will be also offering a streaming service for those unable to attend in person.
Call for papers:
Member of Australia’s professional historians’ associations are invited to submit proposals for papers to be delivered at the forthcoming national conference in Adelaide on 16 and 17 September 2023.
