The Oral History Association of India (OHAI) will hold a conference dubbed ‘Mountain History: At the Intersection of Memory, Politics and Identity,’ to be held on March 13-15 at North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) here.
Hosted in collaboration with NEHU’s Department of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Northeast India AV Archive of St Anthony’s College, and supported by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, Japan, this conference intends to explore India’s rich regional histories and cultures, focusing on the often overlooked narratives from the mountain and mountain communities.
The conference seeks to rectify this imbalance by delving into the socio-cultural and political histories of these diverse landscapes that emerge through the oral histories.
