Congratulations to Svetlana Kitto (2009), the recipient of our annual OHMA Alumni Conference Travel Award!

At the 2018 Oral History Association conference in Montreal, OHMA alum Svetlana Kitto will participate in both a panel and a roundtable, “Oral History in Dialogue: Community Organizing, New Documentary Work, and Our Changing Practice” and “Writing with Our Narrators' Words: Editing Oral History,” respectively. For the panel, she will give a paper on the dynamic and generative relationship between oral history and journalistic writing. For the roundtable, she will discuss her extensive, critically lauded work turning oral history into politically urgent, emotionally rich narrative writing.

OHMA is excited to support Svetlana’s exciting work in connecting oral history and journalism.
