Section Info:
Topic: This is a special Humanities Research Lab (HRL) sponsored “Oral History Methods” course that explores the pleasures and challenges of creating and using oral history as a method for historical research. To that end, our class will collaborate with community partners to create original oral history research projects about our local Latina/o/x/e communities. We will begin by tracing the emergence of oral history in the 1970s, the result of broader civil and social justice movements. The histories we will focus on highlight the stories of underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities whose experiences are often ignored or not represented in mainstream history courses. We will explore how oral history interviews can be used to explore what happened in the past but also how memories of the past are constructed in the present as people give meaning to their lives through story. Spanish-language fluency is encouraged but not required.
