The Brooklyn College Listening Project is a community interview and oral history project run by faculty and students across several departments in the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the School of Performing and Visual Arts at Brooklyn College. Our aim is to listen to and, when possible, record a wide range of stories about life experiences in Brooklyn, NY. We plan to archive recordings of the interviews at the Brooklyn College Library and make them available online through the Library’s website.
