To: Lauren Elizabeth Instenes <lei2106@columbia.edu>Hello all,
The Oral History Master’s of Arts Program would like to invite you to join
us for an upcoming virtual workshop: The NYC Trans Oral History Project and
Rethinking Oral History Methodology. This year’s workshop series is titled
Oral History and Power and we will be thinking critically about the power
dynamics that shape our work and also about how oral history has the
possibility to produce individual and collective power or to challenge
oppressive power dynamics. Please see the flyer below for more details and
feel free to forward to anyone you think might be interested. We hope you
are able to join us at this event!Very best,
Lauren Instenes

archive of 200 interviews with trans New Yorkers sharing their life
stories. NYC TOHP is a collaboration between an independent collective and
the New York Public Library. In its project design, the NYC TOHP reflects a
number of unusual choices that differ from standard oral history
best-practices: the interviews are all in the public domain through
Creative Commons, they are overwhelmingly conducted by volunteers with
little training, the collective selectively compensated some narrators, and
we have prioritized making transcripts easily available. In this
presentation, Michelle will outline the work of NYC TOHP, and explain the
rationale for these unusual choices, and how they contribute to making the
interviews useable by trans communities themselves.Michelle Esther O’Brien is a psychotherapist in private practice. She
recently completed her PhD in Sociology at New York University. Her
dissertation considered how capitalism shapes LGBTQ social movements in New
York City. Michelle is a co-editor of Pinko, and her writing has appeared

the New York Public Library, where she has spent three and a half years
leading the New York City Trans Oral History Project. The Project is
gathering a growing online archive of personal oral histories from trans
New Yorkers.Michelle received her Masters of Social Work from the Hunter College School
of Social Work, CUNY. She spent several years working in HIV/AIDS service
