Introduction to Conducting Thoughtful Interviews

In this workshop, we will reflect on the power of conducting a meaningful interview, the thoughtful considerations that are important to practise, and tips to ensure both you and the interviewee feel comfortable and prepared for the interview. We welcome those who are conducting oral histories for archival practises, recording podcasts, filming documentaries, or anyone who is interested in conducting interviews, and is looking to gather some insights on considerate and non-exploitative interviewing.

Please email Maddie at [email protected] if you have any questions. To ensure willing participants have access to educational opportunities, please email Maddie at [email protected] if you face financial barriers. Space permitting, we can provide discounted or complementary admission.
