Samenvatting
In this article Stef Scagliola is interviewed
about her experiences with the large scale
Dutch Veteran Oral History project, which
she coordinated from 2006-2011. While this
oral history project did not have an explicit
gender or feminist focus, there is still ample
of material relevant for gender studies, such
as the question of how gender was expressed
in the self-narrations of the veterans and
how gender relations played a role in
the interaction between interviewer and
interviewee. The interview also explores the
way in which themes such as empowerment
and the hidden stories of marginalised
people, that have been central to feminist oral
history literature, played out in this specific
project with veterans. As Stef Scagliola shares
her considerations, insights, and reflections,
she provides a glimpse of the way oral
history works in practice and the dilemmas
that have to be negotiated, in line with the
feminist tradition to place one’s own research
methodologies under critically scrutiny.
