Workshop 3: Glasgow Placing Performance Histories University of Glasgow Department of Theatre 18 June 2007 Curator: Dee Heddon The Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies at the University of Glasgow are hosting the workshop 'Placing (Oral) History'. Sensitive to the politics of mapping and representing histories, this workshop will explore issues of place as they relate to potential oral history methodologies. Reference to place includes an awareness of local, national and cultural specificities, whether of practices, genealogies, debates or issues of access. Can places and cultures be represented in and through oral history? What different types of oral history methodologies might engender the production of a sense of place? Where should oral histories be placed, in order to ensure access to them by a diversity of people?
	Invited workshop participants include writer and broadcaster Billy Kay, arts critics Joyce McMillan and Mary Brennan, arts programmer Neil Wallace, and artists Minty Donald and David Harding.
