I'm an archivist, happy to participate. I live and work in Austin, TX. As an archivist, I've worked as both a custodian of oral history collections -- concerned with access and preservation -- and as a practitioner conducting interviews and managing projects. Professionally, I am interested in the ways in which oral history is understood in and as the "official record," and what the "official record" means to different information creators and audiences. I'm also personally interested in how oral history may be integrated into ESL/EFL instruction, especially adult ESL, and integrated into programs geared toward helping residents adjust to new communities, particularly immigrants.
