This is a guide to help students complete an assignment that combines oral history with an analysis of education and gender. Here’s a summary:
1. Article Selection: Choose between two articles, either about Black Southern Womanist teachers or changes in education.
2. Research Project: Conduct an interview with an older person about their educational experiences, focusing on how gender influenced their journey.
3. Interview Guidelines: Prepare to ask questions about their school experience, the influence of teachers and family, and any memorable stories. Obtain informed consent and keep the conversation respectful and private.
4. Final Paper: Write a 750-1000 word paper that discusses the interview in relation to the chosen article. Use quotes and key terms from the reading, and format the paper for an undergraduate journal.
The goal is to analyze how gender and education intersect, using both historical context and personal narratives.
