Thanks. I'd love to talk with you about how you set this up. We might want to try something similar here: I teach at a very working class campus of a state university; nearby is a community, New Bedford, which is somewhat "overdetermined" historically -- it's the setting for Melville's Moby Dick, also where Frederick Douglass lived ... Now it's home to a large Cape Verdean and Azorean community, and while it is still a center for the international fishing industry (I think a majority of the world's scallops are shipped out of here), it has also become a regional, if not national, center for the illegal drug market. There are a couple of historical societies (one specifically focused on black history). So, it would be interesting at some point to develop an oral history project and "put it up" on the web ... But my short-term interest is for my anthropology classes, to expose students to different kinds of stories, and to think about the politics of representation .... I may not "use" it with students until next semester.
Do you have any documentation (or have you written up) what your intention was, how you got started, etc (or is that somewhere on the site itself)?
Cheers,
Lisa Maya Knauer
