Abortion in American Life- Oral History Project

This digital oral history project captures and shares women’s abortion stories from before Roe v. Wade to the present, using abortion as a lens through which we can consider the myriad ways women have grappled with issues of identity, family, motherhood, religion, politics and the legal system of the United States. To date, the project has captured the stories of five women. Our next goal is to revise our protocol, capture stories from a broader and more diverse second cohort (estimating 12 oral histories over the fall semester) and begin to design the digital repository/exhibit space. (fall 2025)

Responsibilities: The undergraduate fellow will help to identify participants, revise our protocol, conduct and transcribe oral histories. The fellow will also help with preliminary design of the digital repository.

Required Skills:

  • Excellent oral communication and active listening skills (for conducting oral histories)
  • Strong attention to detail (for transcribing oral histories)
  • Must be highly self-motivated and able to complete tasks with minimal supervision

Supervisor: Melinda Marchand, History
