March to December 2022

Posts, hosted by the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory, featured a mix of external and internal contributors; I authored 6 and edited 6 posts by guest writers. As the series evolved, I transitioned from the traditional blog format to reflective forewords introducing short video interviews with fellow scholars and community narrators. Each entry emphasizes critical reflections on queer and trans* oral histories beyond the scope of their focus in time, shifting analysis to the multiple meanings that arise out of historical research, community archiving, and public history.

I was the co-oral historian and research assistant for the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory and The ArQuives project. I collaborated with team members on drafting interview guides, conducting interviews, conceptualizing and creating public outcomes, among other tasks.
