On 26 February, the Oral History Seminar was held at IFiS PAN. Participants discussed two interviews with a Ukrainian refugee woman, conducted in 2023 and 2024 by Dr. Anna Wylegała, Professor at IFiS PAN, as part of the Testimonies from the War (U-CORE) project. Information on the two phases of the project can be found at https://swiadectwawojny2022.org/en/ and https://u-core.org/en/. The discussion also covered the methodology and ethical considerations involved in collecting and sharing this type of material.
The Oral History Seminars are co-organized by the Faculty of Culture and Arts at the University of Warsaw, the Qualitative Data Archive at IFiS PAN, and the Polish Oral History Association. The initiative is under the patronage of the “Wrocławski Rocznik Historii Mówionej” („Wrocław Yearbook of Oral History”).
