DESCRIPTION:In the summer of 2018\, news broke that the United States had a
 dopted a radical new policy to deter people from crossing the U.S./Mexico b
 order: separating children from their parents. After months of public outra
 ge\, the policy was rescinded but the damage was done. More than 4\,200 chi
 ldren had been taken from their parents. Through oral history interviews\, 
 Separated: Stories of Injustice and Solidarity documents this historic huma
 n rights violation. Beyond archiving stories for posterity\, the project us
 es applied oral history methodology to activate and disseminate stories con
 tained within the collection of interviews in support of the ongoing policy
  efforts to achieve restitution for the families. As such\, applied oral hi
 story facilitates opportunities for parents and sons and daughters who have
  experienced state-inflicted family separation to transform injustice into 
 action. In this talk\, award-winning oral historian Fanny Julissa García wi
 ll discuss how we can think of the collection and archiving of oral histori
 es not just as opportunities for preservation but also for activation and a
 daptation as it pertains to how and when they can serve the lives of the pe
 ople who share their story.
