Interviews, 2017
- Scope and content:
-
In the Spring 2017 AMES 320S: Refugee Lives course, eighteen undergraduates conducted oral history interviews via Skype with Syrian refugees now residing in Canada, Brazil, Lebanon, Germany, and Italy. To support undergraduate documentary research, Nancy Kalow and Maha Houssami were awarded two grants: a David Paletz Innovative Teaching award and an award from the Vice Provost for the Arts. The AMES 320S final documentary projects were posted on Duke's Languages in Durham website: https://sites.duke.edu/arabiccommunities/stories/syria/. The final projects consist of a four-minute audio documentary, edited from the three long-form oral history interviews, along with an image chosen by the refugee interview partner, a transcript of the four-minute piece, and a brief written introduction by the student team who carried out the interviews. All interviews were conducted in English.
