Stewards of Trauma: Oral History Collections of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies

A roundtable discussion among oral history researchers of different generations on the toll that is left on the interviewers who hear personal, often tortured, testimonies and take on the responsibility of becoming stewards for the stories entrusted to them. The roundtable discussion is chaired by Institute Director and long-time oral history practitioner Salpi Ghazarian and includes Institute Deputy Director Dr. Shushan Karapetian, Institute Archivist Gegham Mughnetsyan and USC alumnus Sarkis Tricha who all have done interviews as part of Institute’s Digital Diaspora project.
