In the fall 2021 semester, graduate students in Oral History in the Digital Age each undertook their own oral history project. Students interviewed their chosen subjects and chose a historical theme around which to base their project. The projects cover a diverse range of themes related to local and national history. They explore the homefront during the Vietnam War, union organizing at John Deere, the history of rural schools in Iowa, and LGBTQ+ history at the University of Northern Iowa. I hope you enjoy exploring the projects and listening to excerpts of the interviews.
