'I’m grateful to be the recipient of the Oral History NSW grant, which will enable me to attend the Oral History Society and Network Ireland Annual Conference to be held in Belfast in June 2018,' Ruth says. 'The conference theme is Dangerous Oral Histories: Risks, Rewards and Responsibilities and I will be presenting a 15 minute paper that reflects on writers’ experiences working with the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
