REL 130 WCUP Religious Perspective in Oral History Religious Interview Project

 

This project will include two parts. The first part is your reflection on an interview of your choosing from the project Documenting Diversity: Religious Perspective in Oral History. After listening to and taking notes on your chosen interview, you will write a 600 – 700-word report to include the following:

  • The name of the interviewee.
  • The religious background of this individual. As best you can, relate this to specific material we have covered this term. How do you think this person’s ethnic, socio-economic, racial, and/or gender identity have influenced their views on religion?
  • A description of how this person’s ideas have changed over time.
  • Your own reflections on the person’s story: what did you learn, what did you find interesting, what points would you agree with, where might you disagree?
  • A description of what questions you would like to be able to ask this person.

The second part will involve applying the method of the first part. Based on questions from the above interview, conduct your own oral history interview with someone you know. It might be particularly interesting for you if it is a family member from another generation. Write a 600 – 700-word report to include items 1-4 above.
