ORGANIZATION: Teachers College

Given the increasing public avowals of exclusionary white nationalism in the United States, this project focuses on the counter-legacy of Black student movements as manifested by Black Lives Matter in Higher Education (BLMHE). Students across the country have been protesting racial injustice in their communities and responding to national conversations after high-profile shootings across the US, as well as highlighting problems such as socioeconomic, gender, and other inequalities within higher education.

This oral history project documents the formation and impact of BLMHE, a student-led movement at Teachers College that have come together to analyze the effects of systemic societal forces on members of the HPSE community and their broader effects on higher education. This participatory oral history archive project collects and contextualizes these stories focusing on themes of social inequities in higher education, in order to bring the power of these student activist voices to the college community, building public awareness around the issues addressed by BLMHE.

Objectives:

The research assistant will report to the Project Director and focus on thematic coding and data analysis of oral history interviews which have been archived online. The research assistant will also assist in further developing an interactive historical timeline of BLMHE’s history and concurrent activism. This part-time research position will run from late-August 2022 to May 2023, and can be scheduled to fit the candidate’s individual needs, in consultation with the Project Director. 

Stipend: $1500.00 per semester. Work can be completed remotely.

Responsibilities:

• Assist with recordkeeping, indexing and summarizing interviews, with an emphasis on consolidating accurate information (signed legal release forms; correspondence; field notes, and so on); prepare all documents and video files generated by interviews for digital archival preservation and online dissemination on project archive site.

• Assist with coding transcripted oral history interviews; checking transcripts for accuracy.
• Assist with development of historical timeline for BLMHE for project archival site.

Qualifications:

• Eligibility: Graduate students who at the time of application are actively enrolled in a graduate program in Oral History, Information Science, Anthropology, Sociology, or related disciplines.

• Strong interpersonal skills, demonstrated interest in community-based projects involving communities from diverse cultural backgrounds, and knowledge of oral history best practices, interviewing techniques and theory, as well as ethics in working with human subjects and potentially sensitive cultural information.

• Students from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities and underrepresented communities are strongly encouraged to apply.
• Previous experience with NVivo or other qualitative software a plus.

APPLICATION PROCESS: Submit via email a 1 page statement of interest, resume, student transcript (electronic copies will be accepted) and contact info for two academic or professional references to: Cynthia.Tobar@bcc.cuny.edu  (with “BLMHE Oral History Research Assistant” in the subject line) no later than August 5, 2022

The fellowship program is designed to be immersive. Fellows will be in full-time residence at WiSER and ISER for 6-months, respectively, and will include three workshops with experts from the collaborating institutions and in the field more broadly. All sponsoring organizations will play key roles in supporting Fellows in their research. The residential component of the fellowship will immerse fellows in WiSER’s weekly and monthly research seminars and colloquia and engage them with the Bhalisa Network and, while at ISER, will integrate them into ISER’s policy advocacy work in Uganda around ethics, rights and legal identity. Fellows will be mentored by faculty and staff from the collaborating institutions and be connected to new areas of research and practice as well as supported in expanding their interdisciplinary professional network.
