Listening to Pandemic Narratives 2 Podcast Episode Over the past two years, doctors Jamie Wagman and Julia Dauer from Saint Mary’s College collected local stories of those impacted by the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. Last year, they gave a public presentation with clips from some of the narrators who graciously shared their stories. They did it again this past September at the Saint Joseph County Public Library with new narrators sharing a different set of stories. We shared the first presentation as a special on this feed last year, and we’re doing so again now. The full versions of these oral histories are preserved and accessible through the Civil Rights Heritage Center’s archives, and today we share the most recent public presentation. This episode was produced by Jamie Wagman and Julia Dauer from Saint Mary’s College, and Nathalie Villalobos and George Garner from the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center.

Covid-19 Oral History Project Website In the spring of 2021, students in HIST 392: Doing History contributed to IUPUI's Covid-19 Oral History project:
The Covid-19 Oral History Project is a rapid response oral history focused on archiving the lived experience of the Covid-19 epidemic.
This project has been designed so that professional researchers and the broader public can create and upload their oral histories to our database.
All the data that participants collect and produce will be open access, open source and shared with researchers and the public through the IUPUI Library and the Covid-19 Archive.
The dataset will serve as
1) an historical archive that compiles oral histories about the experience of living through the Covid-19 pandemic.
2) a tool that allows individuals and communities to express their understandings, hopes, beliefs, and values about the Covid-19 pandemic.
3) a resource to help researchers, policy makers, activists, artists, and communities interpret and respond to current and future pandemics.
