Hearing True Stories: A Bushnell University Listening Lab

What happens when we treat campus memory as both celebration and mirror? Students in HIST 210 present a Listening Lab—mini-exhibits from their podcasts-in-progress on various aspects of Bushnell University’s history. The audience will experience audio clips drawn from the podcasts along with captioned visuals that tell a story about Bushnell’s history. The stories are more complex than nostalgia—change over the years has often come from ordinary people, small decisions, and contested spaces.

Mercedes Deiz and Civil Rights in Oregon

While most people think of Civil Rights activists as street protestors and passionate speakers, Mercedes Deiz shows us that effective Civil Rights workers were also enacting change directly in the justice system, which we see through how she broke barriers in the Oregon BAR, defended the rights of African Americans and women as Oregon’s first woman of color circuit court judge, and opened up new opportunities for minority law students and lawyers.
