Description
Scope/Content: While conducting an oral history with Mrs. Jeannie Huynh, a business owner in Little Saigon and a participating member of the Vietnamese community in Garden Grove, she discussed her experiences during the Vietnam War, her family’s escape to America and her transition into the new country. Her interview focuses on the many hardships her and her family endured due to the affects of the Vietnam War and how the Vietnam War forever altered her life in both Vietnam and in America. Materials restricted until 2022-05-12. Scope/Content: The Linda Vo Class Oral Histories, 2012 subcollection 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. Scope/Content: Photograph of Jeannie Huynh, photographer Evelyn Pei, 2012
