Course Summary

Have you ever heard of "Oral History"? It is a method of recording the memories of politicians, entrepreneurs, artists, parents, children, and even family members by listening to their experiences and perceptions. This may sound like a conventional method of gathering materials. That is true, of course, but there is more to it than that.

Oral history is not just about acquiring the "facts" of someone's story. When you take the time to "hear" or "listen," the structure of an issue that was previously unseen opens up before your eyes, and you gain a new understanding. However, without the ability to listen, oral history is not possible. And developing your listening skills will also help you develop your imaginative and writing skills.

Therefore, this workshop aims to do two things. First, to conduct an oral history and to grasp the skills of listening and logical organization. Second, by using the premise of your own research project as the subject matter, you will build the foundation and basis for your future research. These are the two main goals of this workshop. If this workshop can be a big step forward in your research and practice, there is no better outcome than that.
