Oral History Class (HIST 4006)

Organization Description

California State University, Stanislaus serves a diverse student body of more than 9,000 at two locations in the Central Valley — a beautiful 228-acre campus in Turlock and the Stockton Center, located in the city’s historic Magnolia District. Widely recognized for its dedicated faculty and high-quality academic programs, the University offers 43 majors, 41 minors and more than 100 areas of concentration, along with 15 master's degree programs, seven credential programs and a doctorate in educational leadership.

Program Information

Stan State will partnering with Valley Improvement Projects(VIP) so that students can interview their members about the long battle to shut down the incinerator in Crows Landing.

This spring 2025, in HIST 4006, Oral History, my students will be collecting interviews with retired faculty and staff as well as alumni of Stan State. This will be a new iteration of the oral history collection (https://digitalarchives.csustan.edu/repositories/2/resources/50) that emeritus history professor Nancy Taniguchi and former library archivist Bob Santos had been working on up until about 2010.  
 

Health & Safety

Not all of the students will be doing oral histories with VIP; some will perform on campus interviews - as the "interviewees/"narrators" will likely come to the university to be interviewed or the interview will happen over Zoom.
