Abstract
The purpose of "Stone, Wood, Fire: Remembering the Armenian Genocide in Yerevan and Binghamton" was to collect oral stories and learn about the Armenian Genocide through the lens of descendants of the survivors. To facilitate this research, interviews were conducted with Armenian diaspora from St. Gregory's Armenian Church here in Binghamton as well as Armenians in Yerevan, Armenia. A podcast was created from the research to establish background for the Armenian Genocide and bring to life diverse stories and perspectives in an accessible manner.
