Sady Sullivan brings over a decade of story-collecting experience to her role as oral historian at the Brooklyn Historical Society (BHS). Her interview technique demonstrates a merging of feminist methodology and Buddhist deep listening. Before joining BHS, Sady Sullivan worked with the national program RadioNation with Laura Flanders, as well as Voices of Public Intellectuals, a radio series produced by Laura Roskos and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University.

Since joining BHS in 2006, she has led eight oral history projects and conducted life history interviews with over 200 people. In addition, she manages the digitization of BHS's legacy oral histories, 12 projects dating back to 1973, encompassing over 200 interviews. BHS makes its oral history collections available for listening through a searchable database in the Othmer Library and is investigating strategies to provide access online. Sady also produces audio for exhibition and podcasts, bringing voices of history into current cultural conversations.

She organizes public programs and presents frequently on the subject of oral history, particularly issues surrounding accessibility, to history students, teachers, and archivists at schools and conferences including Brooklyn College, Columbia University Oral History Masters Program, Cornell University ILR School, Pratt Institute School of Information & Library Science, Archivists Roundtable, MARAC, and the Oral History Association. In addition, she teaches an oral history seminar at the Brooklyn Historical Society and workshops for community oral historians embarking on their own projects.
