Oral history grounded in community knowledge

Elena Foulis frames oral-history work in Latina/o/e communities as both a research practice and a question of who holds agency in telling and preserving lived experience. The guide develops a critical decolonial framework around language, cultural practices, gender, and race, with attention to ethical fieldwork and culturally sustaining methods. It also addresses student participation, oral histories as evolving records, and language justice—including bilingualism, translanguaging, and linguistic oppression. Digital archives and multimedia projects extend the discussion toward how community knowledge can be gathered and made accessible.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Researchers and students seeking guidance on ethical oral-history fieldwork in Latina/o/e communities.
  • Readers interested in decolonial research methods, language justice, and community-based archives.
  • Those exploring digital archives and multimedia approaches to preserving oral histories.

In her critical decolonial model, Foulis centers the agency of the people within these communities while considering the diversity and complexity of their experiences. In doing so, she advocates for the importance of building oral history archives that challenge our understandings of Latina/o/e peoples.

Foulis provides a conceptual framework for building on community knowledge that considers language, cultural practices, gender, and race. She suggests ways to involve students in ethical research; collect evolving oral histories; employ a language justice approach that acknowledges linguistic oppression, translanguaging, and bilingualism as essential aspects of this community; and consider the importance of digital archives for the creation of multimedia projects that foster community pl
