OHMA is excited to announce that we are seeking an adjunct to teach a Fall 2017 seminar on Oral History, Visual Storytelling, and Documentary Production! 

The course we imagine will do the following:

• Introduce students to the creative and technical skills required to produce digital storytelling or short-form documentary work within an oral history framework.  This includes training in audio and video recording, editing and final production.
   
• Engage with the ethical and creative dilemmas and opportunities of using oral histories as source material for a documentary work; lead students in developing an oral history approach to their own multimedia and documentary work.
   
• Guide students through the process of conceptualizing and creating visual multimedia presentations and mini-documentaries.

Applicants should send the following, as a single document, with the subject heading Oral History/Documentary to ohma@columbia.edu by April 15, 2017:

• CV
• Letter of interest
• Teaching statement
• Samples of multimedia/documentary work (3 samples)
• Sample course outline – this need not be a complete syllabus, but should give a general sense of how you would structure and approach the course.
