I'm home grading final projects all weekend. My students designed oral history projects on the following subjects:
Bottle Collectors and the history/demise of New York's WE CAN
The history of art handlers ("the janitors of the art world")
Memory as explored through pairs of siblings
Life Histories of gay, lesbian, transgender elders [to become web-based video archive]
The family history of a Korean family in an entirely white, middle-class suburb
An oral history project on sexual assault, conducted as a chain letter (interviewee becomes interviewer and so on...)
How new language in post-AIDS world shaped sexual identity/coming out process of people around age 25
