Celebrating women’s voices and stories is an important component of my work. Workshop sessions with Columbia's Oral History Master of Arts concentrate on the philosophies of deep listening, respecting embodied knowledge, power and accountability, collaboration and relationship. Over the years I have spent time listening to stories from global activists Jestina Mukoko and Fatima Burnad, as well as local Waterville women who are active in the community, Hathaway workers, and students, staff and alumnae from Colby. Here is a short selection of those voices.
