Casual COHDS

Join us for our second session of “Casual COHDS,” a monthly drop-in event for members of the COHDS community and anyone curious about oral history to gather, converse, and connect over coffee, tea, and snacks in a relaxed setting.

If you would like to meet other members of the COHDS community, or simply take a moment to pause, recharge, and connect with other oral history practitioners and enthusiasts, “Casual COHDS” is an opportunity to foster these exchanges.

Held in the afternoon, each monthly meeting will be loosely designed around a theme, to get the conversation started. For our gathering in March, participants are invited to bring a favourite story around an interview encounter or a photograph that they would like to share — or to simply bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you on Tuesday, March 25, anytime between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. in the Sunroom (LB- 1019).
