To the interdisciplinary lit scholars reading this
Literature scholars aren’t typically associated with producing works on oral history. However, some of us do and so I wanted to pass along this call for contributions to a new Oxford University Press series called The Oxford Oral History Series.
The Oxford Oral History Series will showcase the best of current work in oral history and aims to advance methodological and theoretical understandings of the field. It will be international and interdisciplinary in scope and will include volumes for academic, professional, and trade (general) audiences.
We welcome proposals for a variety of projects, including:
● Subject-based collections of edited oral histories
● Methodological works that advance the practice, application, and analysis of oral history
● Theoretical works and thematic collections of interpretive essays that advance key concepts and frameworks in the field
● Narrative histories and oral history-based works from other disciplines that draw heavily on oral histories while simultaneously illuminating the method or theory of oral history.Please send a short e-mail query—short Word attachments are acceptable; no PDFs, please—or a request for more detailed submission guidelines to any of the following:
