Abstract

As a PhD candidate working on my dissertation, I have ventured into the realm of qualitative inquiry in the form of oral history in order to aid the gap of historical and cultural documentation in professional theater embroidery. The purpose of my qualitative oral history dissertation is to examine the oral history of professional theater arts embroiderers in the United States. However, the journey of a novice researcher is the purpose of this paper presentation for the conference.
