This book addresses oral history as a form of education for redress
and reconciliation. It provides scholarship that troubles both the
possibilities and limitations of oral history in relation to the
pedagogical and curricular redress of historical harms.
Contributing authors compel the reader to question what oral
history calls them to do, as citizens, activists, teachers, or
historians, in moving towards just relations. Highlighting the link
between justice and public education through oral history, chapters
explore how oral histories question pedagogical and curricular
harms, and how they shed light on what is excluded or made
invisible in public education. The authors speak to oral history as
a hopeful and important pedagogy for addressing difficult
knowledge, exploring significant questions such as: how do
community-based oral history projects affect historical memory of
the public? What do we learn from oral history in government
systems of justice versus in the political struggles of
non-governmental organizations? What is the burden of collective
remembering and how does oral history implicate people in the past?
How are oral histories about difficult knowledge represented in
curriculum, from digital storytelling and literature to
environmental and treaty education? This book presents oral history
as a form of education that can facilitate redress and
reconciliation in the face of challenges, and bring about an
awareness of historical knowledge to support action that addresses
legacies of harm. Furthering the field on oral history and
education, this work will appeal to academics, researchers and
postgraduate students in the fields of social justice education,
oral history, Indigenous education, curriculum studies, history of
education, and social studies education.
