Abstract
I would like to begin by disclosing that the overall purpose I have ventured to extend in the writing of my report has been to address the question: How do we, as researchers, as scholars, as students, as teachers, and perhaps also then feasibly as activists, effectively bridge the gap between theory, methodology, and praxis? This report contains both epistemological and methodological discussions, examining potential strengths and problematic uses of oral history as an alternative to traditional empirical social science research.
