Description: Scope/Content: An oral history with Mr. Steve Pham, a refugee of the Vietnam War and current employee of the Horizon Cross-Cultural Center. This interview focused on his experience assimilating into the United States after leaving Vietnam. Steve Pham discusses how his involvement in the American Red Cross and volunteer work in law enforcement have shaped his ideology and philosophy on the future of Vietnamese Americans and Asian American History. Steve is participating in the Vietnamese American Oral History project in order to show the importance of persevering and moving forward regardless of the difficulties in life.
Scope/Content: The Linda Vo Class Oral Histories, 2013 are part of a seminar that introduced students to a range of key methodological issues in Asian American Studies. The readings are organized around questions, approaches, and critiques that will help students develop technical skills in qualitative research and analysis, as well as examine how researchers have studied the demographic transformations, economic restructuring, and political changes that shape social relations. We will gain a critical understanding of some of the theoretical, empirical, and ethical challenges posed by scholarly research in the humanities and social sciences. In addition, we will discuss "voice" which can refer to literal, direct forms of expression such as interviews, personal testimonies, and oral histories; and more broadly, as well as forms of symbolic representation such as photographs, videos, and other cultural texts. Students are required to complete a fieldwork research/oral history project, presentations, and short writing assignments.
