Guest Lecture at Arden Hegele’s “Climate and Pandemic” course, Columbia University (February 2023, 50 minutes). The lecture outlined the ethics and responsibilities involved in community-based oral history and ethnography projects, and used the Zip Code Memory Project as a case-study to explore the generative dimensions and the limitations of this type of work. It also prepared students to embark on their own oral history projects, offering various theoretical frameworks and concrete tools.
