Penn Nursing Research and Innovation Colloquium

What is oral history? How is it distinguished from other forms of narrative and interviewing? How is it being implemented in healthcare settings? And why should we be thinking about oral history at all? 

Please join us for a roundtable discussion of these questions and more by a panel of distinguished experts who work at the intersection of oral history and healthcare, moderated by the historian and Curator of the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing, Jessica Martucci. Attendees will learn more about this under-appreciated methodology and explore its potential for practice, education, and research in the health sciences.
