DESCRIPTION:This innovative session explores how oral history and digital s
 torytelling can reshape the way students understand global history. When s
 tudents listen closely to the stories of immigrants and refugees\, they be
 gin to see that the global is not a distant structure but something carrie
 d in memory\, ritual\, and the daily work of making a life in a new place.
  This session builds on practices modeled by the University of Arkansas TE
 XT Program and expands them into a digital humanities framework that suppo
 rts high school students as they learn to work with narrative evidence and
  to represent it with care.\n\nParticipants will explore a pedagogy that t
 reats oral testimony as a central source for understanding the movement of
  people and culture across borders. The session highlights classroom proje
 cts where students create digital exhibits\, interactive maps\, and annota
 ted transcripts that allow them to see how global histories become visible
  through the details of a single voice. Examples from the Pho Minh Buddhis
 t Temple oral history project will show how digital tools can help student
 s notice the smaller forms of global connection found in family stories\, 
 religious spaces\, and community practice.\n\nThe session invites particip
 ants to experiment with digital platforms and to consider questions of eth
 ics\, representation\, and listening. The goal is to offer a model for wor
 ld history teaching that honors human experience and expands what counts a
 s global knowledge. Through this work\, oral history and digital humanitie
 s become a way to teach students that the global past is something that li
 ves in people and continues to be shaped in the present.
