EPISODE 3: Feminism and Oral History
From the Southern Oral History Program, this is Press Record: a podcast about the joys and challenges of learning history by talking to those who lived it.
In honor of Women’s History Month, our third episode is all about oral history, feminism, and women’s activism. You’ll hear from Katherine Turk, a historian of women’s history at UNC Chapel Hill, talk about how oral histories illuminate other sides of the women’s movement; then, you’ll hear Jessica Wilkerson, a historian at the University of Mississippi, discuss a memorable interview with Barb Greene conducted for the SOHP’s Long Women’s Movement Project; and finally, you’ll hear a conversation between Rachel Seidman and Cara Schumann talk about oral history, political activism, and the Moxie Project at UNC.
