There are a couple of different options! If you’d like to meet in-person, I would be more than happy to travel to you or to meet in a public place ( a library, local coffee shop, or someplace similar). If you’d prefer a virtual meeting, I can create a Zoom link; I’m also able to email you a list of questions if you would like to contribute asynchronously or at your own pace.

My preferred interview style is more conversational; while I will pose a couple of questions, I’m moreso interested in your perspective and experiences.

I’ll be taking notes throughout the conversation, but sometimes I have some trouble with catching all of the details. To collect as much information as possible, I’ll also have a back-up audio recording running.

While I’m collecting these oral histories for my thesis, it’s really important to me that this information is retained within the community that it belongs to. I will be donating copies of the recordings and the transcripts to a local archive. This information will be updated once I find an institution to partner with; however, I will not be sending any resources to Harvard or MIT due to their histories of manipulated consent regarding atomic research. This information will be preserved in an unbiased archive as a resource for further research and scholarship.
