Counter Narratives in Practice is a series of podcasts about multicultural heritage collections, storytelling, and representation in Libraries, Archives, Special Collections, Museums, and beyond are part of a larger project to highlight the work of the Andrew W. Mellon Fellows for Diversity, Inclusion & Cultural Heritage based at Rare Book School. Fellows worked together from across the U.S. to tell stories about the archival materials in their collections and how they prompt thinking about counter narratives in their professional practice.
Some specific titles from the series:
Machuca-Galvez, M., Minor Harris, D., & Winston, R. E. (2023). We were never silent: Immigrant narratives & Caribbean print culture as counter narrative.
Correa, D. J., Im, S., & Winston, R. E. (2023). We were never silent: Bilingual cartoons in the Ottoman Empire & pidgin English in Chinese text as counter narratives.
Alston, M., DuVernay, J., & Betts, V. (2023). Hidden histories: African American, Asian American, and Afro-Asian relationality.
Vargas-Betancourt, M., DuVernay, J., & Green, P. (2023). Hidden histories: Immigrant farm workers and Black intellectual histories.
These podcasts would make a good classroom resource for teaching about multiculturalism or diasporas generally, or intercultural dialogue specifically. See KC19: Multiculturalism or KC62: Diaspora as well as other Key Concepts in Intercultural Dialogue published by this Center for further related resources.
