Training
Incite offers a number of training opportunities through its centers and programs.
Oral History Summer Institute
Bi-Annually, the Columbia Center for Oral History Research sponsors a Summer Institute in New York City, which brings together oral historians, scholars, activists, and others for two weeks of advanced training in the theory and practice of oral history. Participants work with world-class instructors, network with oral historians from around the world and go to exhibits in New York City. Each year we focus on a different theme. More >>
Oral History Master of Arts
Columbia University’s Oral History Master of Arts Program is the first program of its kind in the United States: a one-year interdisciplinary MA degree training students in oral history method and theory. Through the creation, archiving and analysis of individual, community and institutional histories, we amplify the critical first-person narratives that constitute memory for generations to come.

Social Science Summer
Social Science Summer provides high school students with an understanding of the principles and skills to design and conduct social research. The program is structured for highly motivated students with interest in the social sciences and the research process. Students will work closely with faculty in daily seminars, culminating with a series of presentations of group research proposals, in which students collaborate to lay the groundwork for a larger research project.
