GWS 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: LGBT Oral Histories of Central Iowa

4 credits (Spring)
This is a hybrid seminar: it introduces oral history scholarship, emphasizing why oral testimony has been exceptionally important for documenting LGBT issues. But this is also a practice-based class in which students learn to become oral historians. Throughout the term, students develop interviewing skills, learn practical elements of community archiving, and especially, collect interviews with LGBT communities in the region. These interviews will become part of the ongoing LGBT Oral Histories of Central Iowa project.

Prerequisite: GWS 111 .
Note: Plus-2 option available.
Instructor: A. Lewis
