Dr Stephanie Panichelli-Batalla to run session for short course on oral history
In November 2020, Head of School for Cross-faculty Studies Dr Stephanie Panichelli-Batalla will run a four-hour-long session on her research on Life Stories of Cuban Internationalist Healthcare Professionals. The session will be for a course titled "Fuentes orales para la investigaci贸n en artes y humanidades" (Oral sources for research in arts and humanities).
The course will be offered to PhD students of the Universidad Aut贸noma de Madrid working in the Arts and Humanities field and who are interested in working with oral sources but have not yet received any training to do so.
The short course on oral history is a result of a successful funding application by colleagues at the Universidad Aut贸noma de Madrid, Dr Particia Mayayo and Dr Neomi Deharo.
