AMST 232 - Asian American Women’s Oral History

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)


(Same as ASIA 232 ) This course examines the methodology of oral history as employed by Asian American women and oral histories of Asian American women. It expands what we understand to be traditional oral history to include, testimonies, political speeches, speaking tours, lullabies, pop music and podcasting. We use sound and story as an object to study subaltern methods of capturing and articulating these stories. Students are able to conduct an oral history project of their own that is digitally archived in the library. It also accompanies a class reading list we collectively build to strengthen the Asian American subject guide at the Vassar library.
