Join OHA Associate Director Steven Sielaff as he sits down for a conversation with Jason Steinhauer about the field of advocacy and its intersections with the humanities. Jason will share his perspectives on how oral historians and the institutions they serve can best represent the value of their work, and which communication mediums to leverage towards this end. The program will feature 30 minutes of curated topical discussion, followed by up to 30 minutes of moderated Q&A from the audience.
