> In the field of oral history, historians work closely with the knowledge and memory of participants. The roots of oral history lie in deconstructing hierarchies of knowledge production, the decentering of archival documentation, and the desire to document the history of often marginalized groups. As the field of oral history has developed and achieved a degree of institutional and academic recognition, how has the field changed in terms of its theory and methodology? How do various disciplines understand and utilize interviewing, shared storytelling, collaborative research and oral history? What is the role of oral history in the university space, especially in a bureaucratic institution which claims to value community engagement? How is oral history situated within participant (and non-academic) communities? Has oral history come close to achieving its goal of 'shared authority?'
