Oral history is an important tool utilized by contemporary historians and other social scientists. Documenting the voices of those often excluded by more traditional historical methods, oral history has expanded the subjects of history (women, laborers, ethnic and racial groups, gays and lesbians, etc.) and has resulted in new interpretations of the past and present. Students participate in an on-going project directed by the college’s archives to create an oral history of the college and surrounding community. Repeatable for a total of 4 credits. Content will vary each time the course is taken.
