helps me remember that I am part of the world."

In 1995 the Oral History Review published an article to demand that disability experiences start being included in academic scholarship. A decade later the journal published another article inviting oral historians to reimagine the role of creativity in everyday oral storytelling. Today, the authors of these two articles, a mother and daughter duo, are responding to their own challenges to the world by being these stories and storytellers within their own lives. An adventure in homegrown oral history making, Meet Me in the Margin takes the reader on a ride through radicalized Norwegian, American, disabled, mentally ill, queer, polyamorous, interfaith, and intergenerational landscapes, weaving together stories of love and transformation between worlds and across psyches.
