It takes a different set of interview skills to get people to share not just the facts of their situation, but also an actual narrative. In this online class, we’ll talk through practical skills for narrative interviewing, from figuring out what questions to ask, to asking questions in a way that prompts story and emotion, and how to help sources tap into the details of stories that are often long past.

You will be emailed a link to the workshop two hours before it begins.

*Registration will close at 6pm EST on Thursday, March 10th.
