Oral History of the Meadows School of the Arts
The oral history project focuses broadly on the experiences of students, faculty, and staff within the Meadows school of the Arts. The project first developed from the course “Music and Ethnography,” where a student interviewed several faculty members. The project will continue to grow with future iterations of the class, and focus on the rich heritage of the Meadows School of the Arts, including music, performing arts, film and media, studio art and art history, and other areas of study.
