Workshop: 'Learning to Listen: A workshop and discussion on research methodologies focusing on oral history, research ethics and responsibilities'

The workshop will primarily draw from Urvashi Butalias research on the histories of women and marginalized communities affected by conflict, particularly during the Partition of India. It will explore what oral histories contribute beyond more “conventional” historical narratives, as well as the ethical challenges researchers encounter when working with personal testimonies.

The session will be divided into two parts: the first will consist of a short presentation of the her work and the challenges identified; the second will involve listening to the participating scholars discuss their own research and the difficulties they face, followed by a collective discussion on possible ways to address these challenges.
