SUMMARY:Culture Series: Leadership Without Titles (Film Showcase)
DESCRIPTION:In this Culture Series\, we showcase three short films while asking the question: What defines a community leader—and who gets to decide?\n\n\n\nHumanitiesDC Present Culture Series: Leadership Without Titles\, a film showcase that brings together three documentaries produced through the Community Voice Lab at American University — Kil and the Kids\, Street Reporter\, and We Rock! — that spotlight everyday people turning challenges into connection\, creativity\, and change across Washington\, DC. \nFrom a mentor supporting youth in a high violence neighborhood\, to a woman reclaiming her life as a community journalist after experiencing homelessness\, to a young professional finding courage and belonging through music\, these films expand how we define leadership. \nThe program will feature three short film screenings followed by a post discussion with the filmmakers\, centered on our bold question: What defines a community leader and who gets to decide? \nJoin us for an evening of film\, conversation\, and reflection that invites us to reconsider where leadership lives\, and how communities rise when everyday people show up. \n  \nRegister here.\n  \nMore About the Curator: The Community Voice Lab at American University produces social impact films that amplify untold stories\, ignite dialogue and spur action toward a more empathetic\, generous and just world. Centered on our creative ethos of collaboration rather than extraction\, our emerging filmmakers and seasoned film faculty work together with local storytellers to honor the ordinary heroes shaping the heart of our nation’s capital. Community Voice Lab films uplift stories of hope\, resilience\, and determination for the common good.

SUMMARY:DC Oral History Collaborative: Oral History 101+ Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to record oral history interviews with your family\, friends\, and community.\n\n\n\nThis course will introduce Washingtonians interested in becoming oral historians to the best practices of doing oral history\, to empower them with the basic tools for developing their style and approach to preserving DC’s rich past through oral history interviews. \nThis course is structured to follow the full cycle of an oral history interview\, from conception to processing. We will discuss practical and theoretical considerations of doing oral history in order to demonstrate the distinctive\, interdisciplinary mindset that oral historians take to their work. Because oral history is best learned “on the job\,” the instructor will ask you to do activities and to discuss your experiences along the way. \nThere is a lot of material to cover\, so participants will also be asked to do some reading and exercises prior to each session. \nThis workshop consists of three sessions – registrants must commit to participating in all three sessions. \n\nRegister here\n\n— \nMarch 19\, 23\, 26 \n6:00pm-8:00pm \nMartin Luther King\, Jr. – 4th Floor Conference Room Space – 401-C \n— \nThe DC Oral History Collaborative (DCOHC) documents\, preserves\, and celebrates the lived experiences of all Washington\, DC residents and communities through oral history.
