About the Project

Researching (With) Our Communities through Oral Histories will support ongoing and new collaborative oral history projects for up to thirty secondary and post-secondary educators who work in Val Verde USD and Moreno Valley USD and at Moreno Valley College (MVC). VVUSD, MVUSD, and MVC students will conduct oral history projects with Inland Empire residents, and students will have the opportunity to share their projects at two community events in Spring 2020. Classroom educators will participate in a year-long community of practice centered on the topics of oral history and meaningful classroom conversations and will share what they have learned with their colleagues.
