Deadline May 31, 2026
While the Call for Proposals is now closed, there’s still time to submit a poster for the 2026 Oral History Association Annual Meeting!
Our memories are closely tied to the landscapes we inhabit, both real and imagined, and these connections are being reshaped by environmental change, political instability, and ongoing crises. As people become disconnected from familiar places and ways of living, oral history helps capture how individuals and communities make sense of identity and belonging.
The 2026 Oral History Association Annual Meeting in Portland, Oregon invites contributions from across fields and communities to explore how people shape and are shaped by the places they inhabit, move through, or leave behind. With the Pacific Northwest as a meaningful setting, the conference will highlight themes such as environmental change, migration, memory, and resilience. We welcome a wide range of perspectives and formats that engage with these ideas and demonstrate the role of oral history in documenting relationships between people and place.
Don’t miss your chance to contribute to this important conversation! Submit your poster today.
