Description
In Fall 2016, I worked with Wayne State University School of Library & Information Science lecturer, Kim Schroeder, to coordinate an oral history project that aimed to capture unique firsthand perspectives on the last 50+ years of Detroit music. Done in conjunction with Professor Schroeder's Oral History class, the project paired eight Archival Administration students with eight notable figures active across multiple decades and music scenes throughout Detroit. The goal was to collect multi-generational, multi-genre perspectives on a city responsible for countless contributions to American music and culture. I would like to propose a panel discussion on our project that will highlight the importance of oral history work within communities. The panel will include myself, Professor Schroeder, and one or more participants in the project (students and/or musicians).
