The Brooklyn Listening ProjectThe Brooklyn College Listening Project was founded by faculty at Brooklyn College (CUNY) and launched in the spring of 2015. Since then, over 600 students across classes in a wide range of departments— American Studies, English, History, Sociology, TV and Radio, Journalism, Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, Judaic Studies, Media Scoring, and more—have conducted interviews with their families, neighbors, friends and strangers. The BC Listening Project collection is comprised of more than 350 audio recordings of interviews in an on-line digital archive.
The Listening Project is designed to create new links between the college and the communities of Brooklyn, to take better advantage of the incredible wisdom of everyday people, and to showcase the brilliance of our students, and the community in which we all live—Brooklyn, New York City, and beyond.
