Voces of a Pandemic

Voces of a Pandemic

Voces of a Pandemic is an ongoing project developed by the Voces Oral History Center at the University of Texas at Austin, that seeks to examine how Latinos describe their experiences during COVID-19. Our objective is to interview Latinos in Omaha to record their narratives allowing us to learn, understand, disseminate, and archive the experiences of our community during this historic time. Besides UNO-OLLAS, fourteen universities and organizations in the United States are part of this collaboration. Your interviews will be archived at UNO’s Criss library.

The interview consists of questions generally addressing the impact of COVID-19 in Latino/as everyday lives. Interviews take between one and two hours, with an additional half hour for a pre-interview consisting of a demographic data survey. Interviewees are asked for their oral consent at the beginning of the interview. Interviews are recorded using zoom video and are shared with the project partners. This project has been approved by UNMC’s Institutional Review Board (673-19-EX).

We are looking to interview Latino essential workers broadly defined, educators, restaurant workers, meatpacking workers, health workers, and others. If you are interested in participating, please visit: https://bit.ly/3mhjRux
