Peter Bearman, Director of the Lazarsfeld Center for the Social Sciences, Summer Institute co-director, and co-principal investigator with Mary Marshall Clark on the September 11, 2001 Oral History Narrative and Memory Project, will share his work using narrative network analysis to interpret turning points through an analysis of life histories. Interviewers and narrators from the collection will share their experiences of the interview process. Institute co-director Amy Starecheski will participate with Clark and Bearman to interpret interview findings, and lead a workshop on the uses of oral history in classroom and community settings, based on the September 11 Telling Lives Project. Alessandro Portelli, of Rome, Italy, will present on the complex mechanisms of dependence, solidarity, corruption and political exploitation in the wake of natural disasters. Ann Cvetkovich will present on her work doing interviews and writing about oral histories with Afghan-Americans. The anthropologist Robin Nagle will report on her research on Fresh Kills. Dr. Ghislaine Boulanger, a psychoanalyst who writes about adult-onset trauma, will present on shared and vicarious suffering through the work of witnessing to catastrophe.
