Welcome! In the fall of 2019, students were asked to interview an elder in their community about a topic of their choice. Conversations included immigration, interracial relationships, feminism, art, and activism. They then transformed the interviews into a podcast. Students learned how to conduct an interview, synthesize information, and edit audio. However, the most valuable takeaway was the wisdom that their interviewees shared with them.

This oral history project was done in collaboration with SFUSD libraries, Soundtrap, and Voice of Witness.

Happy listening!
