CFP: Studies in Oral History (Australia)

Studies in Oral History, Issue No. 47

Editors: Skye Krichauff and Carolyn Collins

The Power of Oral History – Risks, Rewards & Possibilities

Peer-Reviewed Articles

Contributions are invited from Australia and overseas for the peer-reviewed articles section of the 2025 issue of Studies in Oral History, the journal of Oral History Australia (OHA).

Oral history can be powerful in so many ways: interviews generate potent emotions, recordings capture the power of voice as well as the power of silence, and multimedia productions engage and connect new audiences with the complexities of the past.

Fundamentally, oral history transforms the historical archive and challenges mainstream histories. It can shift traditional power dynamics, bring forth new voices and perspectives, reshape policies and politics, and shake up old certainties.

Yet these possibilities come with risk as well as reward – recording sensitive subjects is never easy. Creating an oral history production takes time, skill and care, and sometimes goes wrong. Imaginative re-uses of oral history recordings can raise ethical and legal complexities. And oral histories that disrupt accepted narratives can generate pain and conflict in families, communities and nations.

We invite papers that employ or interrogate oral history methodologies and illuminate aspects of the risks, rewards and possibilities of oral history. Contributions across the following themes are suggested (although not mandatory):

Indigenous oral histories and oral traditions
Oral history, culture and language
Interpreting memory in oral history
Transgressing boundaries with oral history
Documenting diverse voices with oral history
Histories of protest, activism and rights
Contested memories and histories
Oral histories of working lives and social class
Migrant and refugee history
Gender and oral history
LGBTIQA+ oral histories
Ethical issues in oral history
Technology and oral history
Archiving and oral history
Oral histories of family, community or place
Creative uses of oral history recordings
Oral history in galleries, libraries and museums

As all articles are subject to anonymous peer review, pleasure ensure your submission contains no identifying material. Articles submitted to the Oral History Australia Editorial Board for peer review will first be assessed for suitability by the Editorial Board. Please consult the Guidelines for Contributors, the Peer review FAQ and Journal Style Guide for further information.

Word Limits and Deadlines

To be considered for peer review, articles should be no more than 8,000 words, including references. Publication of the issue is anticipated in late 2025.

The submission deadline for articles for peer review is 17 January 2025.

Submission

Send submissions to: Dr Alexandra Dellios, Chair, Oral History Australia Editorial Board, email editorialboard.journal@oralhistoryaustralia.org.au.

Reports

Submissions are also invited for the reports section of the 2025 issue of Studies in Oral History. Reports may describe oral history projects conducted by museum curators, heritage professionals, consulting historians, community historians, academic historians and more. Projects may have resulted in public outcomes such as websites, exhibitions, podcasts, theses, articles or books. Please note the reports section is not peer-reviewed; notes from the field, updates on exciting new work, or reflections on the process and/or outcomes of oral history projects are encouraged. Reports which relate to the issue theme are welcome but not mandatory.

Word limit: 1,500 words.

Deadline for report submissions: Monday 30 April 2025.

Please send reports to our Reports Editor Alexandra Mountain: reports.journal@oralhistoryaustralia.org.au

Please note that while the reports are not peer-reviewed, we cannot accept all reports for publication and accepted reports will need to be edited for length, clarity and adherence to the Style Guide. Reports will be selected on the basis of quality of writing, the diversity of oral history perspectives showcased across the reports section and relevance to the special issue theme. Please consult the Guidelines for Contributors and Style Guide for further information.

CFP: Historic House Museums: Nordic Perspectives

The anthology Historic House Museums: Nordic Perspectives (tentative title) presents a broad range of perspectives on historic house museums in the Nordic countries – Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Greenland, Faroe Islands, and Iceland. The book sheds light on how the Nordic countries understand, define, preserve, exhibit, manage, and communicate about our historic house museums. This includes house museums in the broadest sense of the word – from farmhouses, manor houses, artist homes, bunker museums, open air museums, and other types of historic buildings that have been preserved, and where people have lived for shorter or longer periods of time.

Much of the current literature on historic house museums comes from the US or the UK, where many efforts have been made to create overviews, categories, and definitions that clarify a typology for historic house museums and how historic house museums can be understood.

In our anthology, we want to contribute to this literature by presenting perspectives on historic house museums from the Nordic countries, where our unique cultures, history, and climate come into play. In some ways, the Nordic countries are very different from one another, but in other ways we are closely connected, not least through political history, language, culture, and to some extent – climate. This anthology will present perspectives from the Nordic countries regarding the most pressing issues, challenges, and potentials related to historic house museums in this region of the world. This includes perspectives on preservation and conservation, organisational perspectives, interpretation, collections, dissemination and visitor communication, community and identity, material or immaterial heritage, and not least more general discussions of how historic house museums are defined, categorised, and understood in the different Nordic countries.

The anthology targets museum staff, researchers, and academic students who work within the fields of museums & cultural heritage. It aims at giving Nordic house museums and Nordic house museum researchers a voice in international discussions about the definitions and value of this unique category of museums.

More about the call and the topics: https://museologi.au.dk/publikationer/call-for-papers

We ask authors to submit article proposals of between ½ and 2 pages.

The submission date is October 1st, 2024

The journal editors reserve the right to make final decisions related to Special Sections.

CFP: Student Employment in Academic Libraries

We at the Indiana University Indianapolis University Library are planning our second Student Employment in Academic Libraries virtual symposium and are looking to expand the scope and audience – to more supervisors AND student employees. If you supervise a student worker, are a student worker, or are interested in working with students, please take a second to consider the following invitation to our program.

It’s almost time for the second Student Employment in Academic Libraries (SEAL) Symposium, happening virtually October 24 & 25, and we’re inviting you to participate! We’re looking for your proposals for presentations or virtual posters related to the theme of an ethics of care as it’s applied to student employment.

How is the student employment experience at your library informed by an ethics of care? How does knowing student employees and being responsive to their needs, skills, goals, development, interests, identities, or lived experiences factor into specific elements of the employment lifecycle? As a student employee, how has an ethics of care in these aspects shaped your employment experience? These might include for example:

Developing positions, projects, or workflows;
Hiring, orientation, and training;
Evaluation, coaching, and feedback;
Communication, project management, teamwork, and workplace relationships, among others.

Give us 150 words (or less) about your work, culture, or practice in student employment or student employment management that embodies an ethic of care. The proposal process is open to both library student employees and staff. Proposals are being accepted for 20-minute presentations, or digital posters.

We’re accepting proposals until July 31st, 2024. We can’t wait to hear from you!

CFP: Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration Symposium 2024

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for the Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration Symposium 2024, which will take place during this year’s conference on 24 October 2024 at the Te Pae Convention Centre, Ōtautahi | Christchurch, Aotearoa. Join us on the lands of the Ngāi Tahu to reflect on and discuss the implementation of the Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration.

The Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration (the Declaration) is a milestone document that was launched by the International Council of Archives (ICA) and the National Archives of Australia (NAA) on 25 October 2019. The Declaration called on the jurisdictional archives of the world to acknowledge and adopt themes and commitments of the declaration for immediate action.

The Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration Symposium will provide opportunities to critically reflect on the Declaration, both as a statement of purpose but also as a guide to practical action. The event is an opportunity to hear from and connect with First Nations community members, GLAM practitioners and allies on work undertaken to implement the Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration.

Themes

The Symposium Programming Committee invites community, organisational and institutional perspectives on the use of the Declaration. Participants are encouraged to share the ways in which they have been utilising the Declaration in their work and activities. The day aims to focus on discussing existing projects and invites critical conversations on gaps and needed improvements.

The Symposium Programming Committee will give preference to lightning talks that align with the Tandanya-Adelaide Declaration’s five themes:

Knowledge authorities
Property and ownership
Recognition and identity
Research and access
Self-determination

Important Dates

Submission Deadline: Monday 22 July 2024, midnight (AEST)

Submission

You can find full details and how to submit your abstract here.

Call for Book Proposals: Palgrave Studies in Queer Literary, Visual and Material Cultures

NEW SERIES
Call for Proposals
Palgrave Studies in Queer Literary, Visual and Material Cultures

https://link.springer.com/series/17238

Series Editors

Michel Bronski, Professor of the Practice in Media and Activism in Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, Harvard University, USA
Dominic Janes, Professor of Modern History, Keele University, UK
Kate Thomas, K. Lawrence Stapleton Professor of Literatures in English, Bryn Mawr College, USA

Brief Description

Palgrave Studies in Queer Literary, Visual and Material Cultures tests, contests and expands the boundaries of queer studies in global and transnational contexts and across historical periods. The series engages a wide range of cultural production including literature, graphic narrative, film, performance, architecture, art, virtual design, interior and furniture design, and landscape design. We welcome titles that bring “queer” cultures and sexualities into conversation with related areas of enquiry, especially critical race theory, trans studies, disability studies, feminist theory, eco-criticism, post-colonial theory, and Marxist theory. The series is dedicated to cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and intersectional work across many forms of difference and diversity.

Although the series will focus on Anglophone works we invite research that crosses over from other disciplines and cultural contexts. For example, a book on late Victorian British queer male writers might discuss the influence of the French decadent writers of that period, as well as other aspects of European literary production. Or, again, work that explores British visual and textual cultures from India might usefully contextualise them in relation to subcontinental practices and understandings of sexuality and art.

The editors welcome new book proposals for monographs (70,000-100,000 words) and edited collections (80,000-125,000 words).

If you’re interested in submitting a proposal, please contact the Executive Editor for Literature at Palgrave Macmillan, Molly Beck (molly.beck@palgrave.com).

Call for Contributions: Information Technology and Libraries Journal, New Column

Information Technology and Libraries Journal (ITAL) is seeking authors for a new column titled “ITAL &”.

The “ITAL &” column is a non-peer-reviewed, featured column that focuses on ways in which the library’s role continues to expand and develop in the information technology landscape. The emphasis will be on emerging ideas and issues, with a particular aim to recruit new-to-the-profession columnists.

Some examples of possible topics include:

AI: How will the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning change various aspects of librarianship and different types of libraries? How are library professionals working with or fighting against artificial intelligence? Are libraries using generative AI in marketing materials or using large language models to streamline workflows? What cybersecurity implications arise?

General technology review: Looking back at the ten-year range, what are the major changes or improvements in library technologies that have occurred since 2014? What are the current and emerging technologies that enable telecommuting, cloud computing, and hybrid learning in libraries? What are the potential scenarios and implications of library technologies in the next five and ten years, and what are the best practices and strategies to prepare for them? This column could provide a platform to discuss and envision prospective library technologies.

Other topics of interest could include, but are not limited to: disability and accessibility, cybersecurity and privacy, the open movement / open pedagogy, linked data and metadata, digital humanities / digital praxis, digitization efforts, programming and workshops, the overlap between library technology and other library departments (acquisitions, readers advisory, information literacy and instruction, scholarly communications), or other emerging technologies and their implications for library work.

This column is intended to be practitioner-focused, and we will happily entertain submissions from folks who have expertise in libraries and technology but who may not work in a traditional “library” environment or role. We are also happy to work with first-time authors and folks based outside of North America, though columns need to be submitted in English.

Since this is a non-peer-reviewed column, there is also an opportunity to engage in new ways or different formats, so creative submissions will also be considered. (Examples: comics, zines, videos, autoethnography, case studies, white papers, policy documents, interviews, reports, or other things commonly referred to as “grey literature.”) If you would like your column to be in a format that differs from a standard editorial essay, please explain in your proposal.

Those who are interested in being an author for this column should submit a brief proposal / abstract that outlines the topic to be covered. Proposals should be no more than 250 words. Please submit your proposals to this Google Form no later than June 30, 2024.

Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by July 8, 2024, with the submission deadline for our quarterly issues on the first of February, May, August, and November. Completed column submissions should be roughly 1500-2000 words.

Please contact column editor Shanna Hollich (shollich@gmail.com) with any questions.
