The Philosophy of Oral History

This conversation will explore oral history and its role in producing empathy and compassion in its audience. The structure will allow Professor Lorraine Besser of the Philosophy department and Professor Don Wyatt of the History department to discuss these issues as they see fit and in accordance with the flow of the conversation. Possible topics will include Martha Nussbaum’s writing on emotional refinement, the limitations and danger of sentimental education, and the methods by which oral histories may best be leveraged to produce social good.
