Digital Stories
Based on oral history interviews with individuals who were involved in crafting social movements in Uptown, students in GLAS 300 worked with Anna Guevarra to distill some of the key insights in relation to gentrification and displacements, and rendered these through the medium of digital storytelling. The oral history narrators were selected with the help of the projects’ community liaisons in Uptown. They were chosen for their sustained and committed work in the community and neighborhood.
