An oral history archive is meant to be seen and heard; watched and listened to; sifted through and engaged with. TAVP's oral history archive of the death penalty is a unique resource for educators around Texas as well as the rest of the world. How can we ensure that these invaluable voices circulate in educational spaces, and once they are there, how are they best incorporated into curricula and lesson plans? Over the past 5 years, TAVP materials have been integrated into a range of courses, and as we develop digital tools and build partnerships, our reach is extending. To celebrate the launch of Amplify Austin 2014, TAVP will host a reception and panel to celebrate TAVP in the classroom today and imagine TAVP in the classroom tomorrow. Amplify archives!
Panelists will include human rights archivist T-Kay Sangwand, UT faculty members Naomi Paik and Charlotte Nunes, and current TAVP interns from the Archives and Education strand of the Human Rights & Archives Working Group led by Dr. Nunes.
T-Kay Sangwand, human rights archivist at UT-Austin, has worked closely with TAVP since 2009, assisting in conceptualizing and coordinating TAVP's digital archive protocols.
Dr. Naomi Paik integrated TAVP oral histories into her Spring 2012 course Race, Memory, and Violence, offered through UT's American Studies program.
Dr. Charlotte Nunes, the co-chair of the Human Rights and Archives Working Group, is currently collaborating with TAVP to offer UT undergraduate interns a meaningful experience learning about archives by building them.
