Donald Trump has only been president for a few months, but he has already done more to debase United States foreign policy than any chief executive in memory. He has gutted the State Department, purging its senior leadership and vowing to slash its budget by over one-third. He has scuttled the Trans-Pacific Partnership, condemned the North American Free Trade Agreement, called the North Atlantic Treaty Organization ‘obsolete,’ and threatened to defund the United Nations. He has harangued or otherwise insulted U.S. allies like German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe while cozying up to dictators like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte. He has flip-flopped on such crucial matters as the ‘one China policy’ and the ‘two-state formula’ for Israeli-Palestinian peace. He has ratcheted up tensions with North Korea, approved an ill-thought-out mission to Yemen, and launched massive but ultimately meaningless assaults in Afghanistan and Syria.

The workshop will cover specifics within three sub- categories of oral history: Pre-Interview, Interview, and Post-Interview, including project planning, technology, funding, questions and follow-up questions, release forms, index or transcript, publication, and any other topic of interest to the attendees. Additionally, the workshop will contain interactive exercises to hone listening and interviewing skills. Troy Reeves has led the oral history program at University of Wisconsin, Madison, since June 2007. Before that he directed the Idaho Oral History Center from 1999-2006. In both of those positions, Reeves has overseen the key components of managing an oral history program – gathering, preserving, and providing access to recorded interviews, as well as educating interested individuals about the art and science of oral history. Jennifer Abraham Cramer has been in the field of oral history since 1996, and has been the Director of Louisiana State University’s T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History since 2004, where she has overseen a state-wide initiative to collect oral histories about 20th and 21st Century Louisiana. She has significantly increased the size of the collection by fostering partnerships and collaborations with community members, scholars, and researchers. As director, she has overseen the processing, preservation, digitization, and public access to the vast collections.
