The Texas Oral History Association (TOHA), founded in 1983, promotes the use and good practices of oral history research through a variety of programs and publications, including the journal Sound Historian. Comprised of individuals representing diverse interests and disciplines, the professional organization will host its fourteenth annual conference September 5-6, 2025, on the campus of Baylor University in Waco, TX!
Scholars, educators, students, history enthusiasts, folklorists, family historians, and more are encouraged to submit proposals for papers or sessions to be considered for the program. Topics should include clear evidence of oral history research or provide new insights on the methodology.
Both complete sessions and individual paper proposals are welcome. Individual presentations must not exceed twenty minutes, and the session format will include opening remarks by a chair, followed by two or three papers, and concluding remarks from a commentator.
Proposals should include the names, affiliations, and contact information of participants (bio), the titles of sessions and papers, and a brief description of the topics to be covered. Please submit your proposals via email by July 18, 2025.
