ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book explores an oral history project by NASA that was helping to find solutions for the impacts of climate-change. It overviews oral history, summarizing the phases it has moved through, becoming increasingly applied as a resource for informing and driving change. The book focuses on oral history of a tour of seven continents, which helps to generate policy-solutions for problems from famine to dementia, and those solutions being shared across communities in cycles of generative learning. It also focuses on how to script interview questions, review interviews and do second rounds. The book explores how to analyze the interview material to extract narrators' user experience, local knowledge, foresight of hidden obstacles and so on.
