Intercultural Oral and Deaf History Project (IODHP)
Dr. Yonemura is the Director of the Intercultural Oral and Deaf History Project (IODHP).
The Intercultural Oral and Deaf History Project centers undergraduate student research. Students serve as the primary researchers, conducting in-depth oral and Deaf history interviews with narrators from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
Students engage in scholarly analysis of their narrators' lived experiences, exploring themes of identity, community, and history. They also present their findings in academic settings, including conferences, symposia, and classroom forums, contributing to broader conversations in community health sciences, political science, Deaf Studies,ethnic studies, women and gender studies, sociology, and history.
The IODHP emphasizes cultural humility and inclusive research practices, fostering community building which enriches our university and society.
