Interviews, 2019

Scope and content:

Duke students in AMES 204FS "Documenting the Middle East" undertook semester-long audio interviewing projects to collect the oral histories of three Palestinians in the West Bank. Students, working in pairs or a group of three, recorded two long-form interviews with their interviewees. Interviews were conducted by Skype. Each interview is transcribed, and each student wrote fieldnotes after recording the interviews. The interviewees shared stories of their daily lives, cultural traditions, experiences living in refugee camps, their educational experiences, family stories, observations and stories about living under occupation, and their professional interests and activities. They spoke about Palestinian identity and personal goals. Also included are edited audio projects, four minutes each, which were produced for a Duke Service-Learning website, "Arabic Communities:" https://sites.duke.edu/arabiccommunities/palestine/.
