Finally, Rob Perks, director of the British Library oral history program and Doug Boyd, Director of the Nunn Center for Oral History discussed \u201cArchives, Risk and Online Access to Oral History\u201d (#129), raising important questions about unmoderated online access to oral history interviews, the archivist\u2019s responsibility in monitoring access, and the murky path in determining guidelines and best practices.<\/p>\n<p>Many considered the keynote address by Dr. Leyla Neyzi, Anthropologist and Professor at Sabanc\u0131 University in Istanbul, Turkey, (#091) the capstone event.\u00a0 Neyzi\u2019s project, \u201cYoung People Speak Out: The Contribution of Oral History to Facing the Past, Reconciliation and Democratization in Turkey,\u201d includes oral history interviews with and conversations between Turkish and Kurdish young people from 2011-2012.\u00a0 She began by describing her experience as a signatory of a 2016 petition condemning state violence against the Kurds, the Turkish state\u2019s ongoing violation of its own laws and international treaties, and the repercussions she and other academics are facing doing fieldwork in Turkey. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontlinedefenders.org\/en\/case\/judicial-harassment-academics-peace\">https:\/\/www.frontlinedefenders.org\/en\/case\/judicial-harassment-academics-peace<\/a> ). Her account is a harsh reminder to those of us practicing oral history in safe environments, that many of our colleagues around the world, including many IOHA members, are facing moral, ethical and physical challenges as well as concerns for their own personal safety and that of their narrators.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1796\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1796\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1796\" src=\"https:\/\/ioha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Montreal-Skyline-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"Montreal skyline\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ioha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Montreal-Skyline-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ioha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Montreal-Skyline-768x431.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ioha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Montreal-Skyline-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ioha.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/4-Montreal-Skyline.jpg 1053w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montreal skyline<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Oral historians work hard during the day and live the good life before and after conference sessions. The early risers among us started the day practicing yoga with Teresa Bergen, then moved on to grab our favorite coffee drink before sessions began. First-time attendees were invited to a get-acquainted breakfast sponsored by OHA. For an afternoon pick-up many of us headed to the Juliette et Chocolat. After hours, oral historians socialized at receptions, including the IOHA reception at Mckibbin\u2019s Irish Pub, and later headed into the city for dinner, drink, and dessert. My favorites are the Greek-themed restaurant Caf\u00e9 Molivos for a quiet dinner with wine, or the more casual Persian themed Caf\u00e9 Aunja for tea and sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>On my cross-country flight home, I had plenty of time to reflect on the conference. My musings all took me back to the very apt conference theme, <em>Oral History in our Challenging Times<\/em>, more relevant at the time of the conference than when the title was decided upon, and even more relevant today. Six weeks later, as I sit at my desk in the San Francisco Bay Area, housebound due to the hazardous air quality from the 200,000+ acres burning in my state of California, the challenges increase. Natural disasters. Elections. Gun violence. Brexit. Irresponsible politicians. Vulnerable populations at increasing risk. Challenges to legitimate journalism.<\/p>\n<p>Oral historians can view these increasingly challenging times as an opportunity to practice what we do best: giving voice to the voiceless, documenting big ideas at a granular level, and preserving interviews for the historical record. IOHA, as an international organization of oral historians, is especially equipped to tackle these challenges by drawing on the wisdom, expertise and cultural knowledge of the membership in order to support each other in the challenges that lie ahead. Let\u2019s rise to the occasion as a group.<\/p>\n<h1>Next Year:<\/h1>\n<p>Mark your calendars for next year\u2019s conference which will take place in Salt Lake City, Utah, in the heart of the American West, October 16-20, 2019, (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oralhistory.org\/annual-meeting\/\">http:\/\/www.oralhistory.org\/annual-meeting\/<\/a>)\u00a0 The theme is \u201cPathways in the Field: Considerations for Those Working In, On, and Around Oral History.
