I have made so much progress on my thesis! Last week, I conducted my final long-term interview for my thesis. I am so thankful for everyone who partcipated in my oral histories and the amazing community I am a part of. My next blog pot will focus more on my interview expierence but for right now I will talk about next steps and challenges I have with my thesis.
Oral history is a quite a legtheny process. I am committed to the professional distrubution of these oral histories. I still have to transcribe and send them to interviewees for approval before I post them. I will post the link to my own blog very soon! A big focus of this thesis is analyzing the community's response and reaction to the oral histories. I hope that the community will engage with my work and am exicited to see what they think.
Time is a big challenge. I always feel like Spring semester goes faster than Fall Semester. I have a lot I am trying to accomplish in a short period of time. I want to put my all in this project, but time can be constraining. I am also contuing to research the connetion between oral history and preservation. I am excited to keep working on my thesis!
Best,
Eliot Gavin
