AROUND THE QUADS: CAMPUS BULLETINS CONTINUED [ 2 OF 3]
In collaboration with the Institute for Social and Economic Research Policy (ISERP), the OHRO created The September 11, 2001 Oral History Narrative and Memory Project to document responses to the terrorist attacks and their aftermath. Many of the more than 400 audiotaped interviews were conducted within six to eight weeks of the attacks, and they reveal the diversity of experiences and responses to the catastrophe by those who were affected. The award from the Neediest Fund will support a new initiative,
The September 11th Response and Recovery Oral History Project,
which will focus on the response to September 11 and the efforts
of those who have contributed to the recovery. At least 40 new interviews
will be conducted with mental health, law, employment, education
and philanthropy leaders who mobilized to provide short- and long-term
services in the aftermath. Interviews also will be conducted with
people directly traumatized by proximity to the catastrophe or loss
of loved ones, and OHRO will work with schools and after-school
programs to help youths interpret the experience of September 11
and its aftermath. Interviewees will be interviewed three times
across three years. A longtime supporter of the College, Siegel also established the
Jesse and George Siegel Scholarship in the Humanities and the Jesse
and George Siegel Professorship in the Humanities. All three are
named for Siegel and his late brother, George ’43. [ 1 | 2
