"Articulating Continuity, Documenting Change: Life-Storytelling in Oral History and Folklore"

Genealogy invites scholars from across social sciences and humanities to submit essays to the above special issue focusing on the ways life stories engage with social and familial change. We invite contributions that explore life-storytelling as a cultural practice that both documents social change and strives to articulate familial continuity. Submissions on the following topics are welcome but not limited to:

• Life story narratives of change from the comparative perspective;
• Autobiographical narrative across family generations;
• Diaspora/homeland life narratives of familial continuity and change;
• Post-coloniality and personal life narrative;
• Post-totalitarianism and life-storytelling;
• Migration and life-storytelling;
• Ethnic minorities and life-stories;
• Personal life-narratives and indigenous contexts;
• Political uses of life-storytelling

The Journal will waive any publishing fees for those essays that are chosen.
