In 2021, I began collaborating with women miners and students on the Women Miners Oral History Project. Interviews and other materials will be available at the West Virginia & Regional History Center at WVU in 2026. You can read more about the history and legacy of women miners, as well as the oral history project at our StoryMap.
BLACK FAMILIES OF YALOBUSHA COUNTY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT
Students in my oral history seminar (SST 560) at the University of Mississippi and I collaborated with Ms. Dottie Reed (UM alum and Water Valley native) to start the Black Families of Yalobusha County Oral History Project in the fall of 2019. Interviews and other materials are now available via eGrove at the University of MS.
Check out the nearly fifty interviews I conducted for oral history projects at the SOHP.
Invisible Histories Project-Mississippi and Queer MS Oral History Project
In 2018, I and my students collaborated with the Invisible Histories Project (IHP) founded by Joshua Burford and Maigen Sullivan in Birmingham, Alabama, to document and preserve LGBTQ+ histories in the South. Learn more at invisiblehistories.org.
With co-director Amy McDowell and graduate students Hooper Schultz, Maddie Shappley, and Danielle Buckingham, along with students from the oral history seminar SST 560 (and many other students since), we have been collecting oral history interviews with LGBTQ+ Mississippians. The interview collection, still growing, is now available via eGrove.
