Background
- Scope and content:
-
Seventeen oral history interviews with students and artists from Palestine and the Palestinian diaspora, created by classes led by instructor Nancy Kalow between 2017 and 2020. For each interview, students in the class created notes and transcripts, as well as 4-minute audio projects distilled from the interviews, for a Duke Service-Learning website, "Arabic Communities:" https://sites.duke.edu/arabiccommunities/palestine/. The interviewees shared stories of their daily lives, cultural traditions, Palestinian identity, experiences living in refugee camps, their educational experiences, family stories, observations and stories about living under occupation, and their personal and professional interests and activities.
