On March 27th, 5:30p.m., in the William T. Young Library auditorium on the campus of the University of Kentucky, Dr. Mary Marshall Clark will present her lecture entitled “Documenting Catastrophe through Oral History,” which details her work with recording oral histories concerning the events of September 11, 2001. Dr. Clark is director of the Columbia University Oral History Research Office, the first university-based oral history program. She is past president of the United States Oral History Association and has served on the executive council of the International Oral History Association. Currently, she directs one of the largest oral history projects documenting the events and aftermath of September 11, 2001. She has also conducted a wide range of biographical interviews for Columbia University on a wide variety of subjects--including women’s history, media and journalism history, political history, philanthropy, and the history of psychoanalysis--speaking with U.S. congresswoman Bella Abzug and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, among others. She has written several articles, including “The September 11, 2001, Oral History Narrative and Memory Project: A First Report,” “Holocaust Video Testimony, Oral History, and Narrative Medicine: The Struggle against Indifference,” and “Resisting Attrition in Stories of Trauma.”
