Description: Scope/Content: An oral history with Mr. Stefan Nguyen, who explains his upbringings under a Vietnamese household in America, allows us into his past to understand how challenging it was to be “different.” This interview focused on his experiences escaping Vietnam and growing up in America. Using current events, Stefan gives examples of certain situations that have occurred to explain certain experiences about his past. Mr. Nguyen is a business man who is also heavily apart of the Vietnamese community.
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.
