This workshop explores key issues around the dissemination of oral literature through traditional and digital media. Funding agencies, including our own Supplemental Grants Programme, now encourage fieldworkers to return copies of their work to source communities, in addition to requiring researchers to deposit their collections in institutional repositories. But thanks to ever greater digital connectivity, wider internet access and affordable multimedia recording technologies, the locus of dissemination and engagement has grown beyond that of researcher and research subject to include a diverse constituency of global users, such as migrant workers, indigenous scholars, policymakers and journalists, to name but a few.For more details check: http://www.oralliterature.org/research/workshops.html
this is a very commendable project. I hope the project will encourage young Indian researchers to network with their peer groups in other parts of the world. Think of a workshop in Kerala focusing on the the methodology of the project with theoretical underpinnings.
