SUMMARY:Audio Techniques for Oral History Projects
DESCRIPTION:This core workshop in the DC Oral History Collaborative Training Series will take an in-depth look at some of the techniques that oral historians use to get quality audio from their recording equipment.

In this workshop\, attendees will: \n• Learn how to optimize settings on their audio recorders to get the best audio. \n• Understand how audio is encoded as a digital file and how that applies to: filetypes\, bit rates\, and frequencies. \n• Understand some of the most common causes of poor audio quality and how to set up their interview space to avoid them. \nThis workshop will be held in the Martin Luther King\, Jr. Library in room 401-C. The nearest metro stations are Chinatown Gallery Place on the Red\, Green\, and Yellow Lines and Metro Center on the Red\, Blue\, Orange and Silver Lines. \nThe DC Oral History Collaborative (DCOHC) documents\, preserves\, and celebrates the lived experiences of all Washington\, DC residents and communities through oral history. The Collaborative accomplishes this by providing training\, mentorship\, resources\, programs\, and funding to current and aspiring oral historians.

SUMMARY:AC Panel: Identity and Belonging in Literature
DESCRIPTION:Seeking and achieving both a sense of self as an individual and a sense of belonging among others are two sides of the same coin. Our understanding and perception of these elements can have a profound effect on our lives\, on our cultures\, and on society as a whole. Writers often grapple with the nuances of the human condition\, and indeed many of its mysteries can unfold in stories that explore identity and belonging. Tope Folarin engages with local authors Patricia Coral\, Majda Gama\, and Varun Gauri to discuss the challenges and triumphs of self-identification. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:Beyond LGBTQ+: An Introduction to Queer Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:Queer archaeology has its roots in the quest for and identification of lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, and queer people in the past. Incorporating queer theoretical advances and approaches from other disciplines\, queer archaeology has expanded in scope and now serves as a powerful tool to help understand the past. \nIn this one-hour virtual workshop\, we will use a place-based approach to tracing the development of queer archaeology and how archaeologists are now using it to develop more nuanced interpretations. Brush Up Workshops are organized by Archaeology in the Community and sponsored by the Society of Black Archaeologists. Participants receive expert instruction\, resources\, a quiz to test understanding\, and a certificate of completion. \nRegistration Link

SUMMARY:Culture Series: Vital Signs - DC and the Poetry of AIDS
DESCRIPTION:How did DC nurture—and challenge—the artists and writers who lived through the AIDS crisis? And what can DC residents learn from their legacy to help ignite our resistance to the challenges of our own time?  \nJoin HumanitiesDC and guest curators Kim Roberts and Regie Cabico for Culture Series: Vital Signs: DC and the Poetry of AIDS\, a powerful exploration of three groundbreaking poets: Essex Hemphill\, Tim Dlugos\, and Reinaldo Arenas—each of whom shaped the city’s literary landscape before their lives were cut short by AIDS. This evening of remembrance features a panel discussion with those who knew them best or were deeply influenced by their work. Also featured will be short readings of poems by other DC-based writers lost to AIDS\, including Garth Tate\, Mary Bowman\, Chasen Gaver\, and Jim Everhard—bringing more of these powerful voices back into the room. As we face new challenges in public health\, social justice\, and cultural memory\, this event asks the bold question: what can DC residents learn from their legacy to help ignite our resistance to the challenges of our own time? \nA handout of selected poems will be available to all attendees.  \nRegistration Event Link
