This web-site is comprised of original oral history interviews carried out by students as part of James Madison University’s general education program.
by Kristen McCleary (James Madison University) and Various Students (James Madison University)
The general theme of the interviews are about social change in the 20th and 21st centuries as depicted through themes such as the Cold War, gender, immigration, education, and the workplace. Students also analyze these interviews to discern patterns of social change in themes of their choosing.
We seek to understand the connection between an individual and the larger historical context of their life through interviews, reading memoirs and graphic novels, and telling our own stories about how our lives intersect with social change. We hope others will learn from these interviews from ‘everyday’ people who are doing work that sustains our society and inspires our learning community.
