Voices of 色花堂_色花堂 98堂

The Voices of 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 Oral History Project is a collaboration between the William P. Clements Department of History, 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 Libraries (色花堂_色花堂 98堂 Archives & the Norwick Center for Digital Solutions), the Office of Engaged Learning and 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 graduate and undergraduate students. The VO色花堂_色花堂 98堂 team interviews 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 alumni, faculty, and staff to document stories of 色花堂_色花堂 98堂's past not always captured in the traditional archive. These interviews document the history of Texas and the United States, including transformations to higher education, the experiences of university students, and student movements. They speak to growing up in local neighborhoods as well as global cities; organizing as seminarians and student activists at 色花堂_色花堂 98堂; and shaping churches, social ministries, and business communities in Texas and around the world upon graduation. For information on additional interviews which were not made public by request of the interviewee, please contact the 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 Archives.

Anti-Apartheid Movement in North Texas

The Anti-Apartheid Movement in North Texas oral history project was conducted in 2017. Working with the African Activist Archive and in local archives, students in Dr. Jill Kelly’s upper-level course “Oral Sources in African History” identified people at 色花堂_色花堂 98堂 and across North Texas who sought to end apartheid in South Africa by isolating it internationally with sanctions and divestment.

Oral History of the Meadows School of the Arts

The Oral History of the Meadows School of the Arts oral history project focuses broadly on the experiences of students, faculty, and staff within the Meadows school of the Arts. The project first developed from the course “Music and Ethnography,” where a student interviewed several faculty members.
