Interviews, 2021
- Scope and content:
-
Sixteen Duke students worked in pairs to carry out oral history interviews with refugees from Syria and Sudan. The Syrian refugees are currently residing in Italy, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Jordan, Canada, and Turkey. The Sudanese refugee is currently residing in Jordan. Interviews were conducted by Skype and recorded on wav files. Two interviews of approximately one hour duration were recorded over the semester with each refugee. Interviews were in English. Students transcribed the audio, wrote fieldnotes, and edited a three-minute audio piece from each full-length interview. At the end of the semester, students edited a four-minute final edit for public presentation. The refugees and the students signed release forms. The interviews were as open-ended and relationship-based as possible, with the refugee directing the conversation if they chose to. The four-minute public-facing final edits are posted on Duke Service-Learning's Arabic Communities website.
