praxisThis page is a manual for people who work at the Texas After Violence Project in any capacity (volunteers, board members, interns, and staff). We publish it so that our process is transparent to all potential narrators (people who are telling their stories); potential volunteers, interns, board members, and staff; to people who wish to use the stories in some way and need to know how we work; and to community supporters and donors or potential donors. Those of you who read or write scholarly articles: consider this page and its links a "methods" section of a paper that is forever in progress. If you are a person who conducts oral history or ethnographic interviews, or if you work with an organization that does, or if you are just interested, we welcome your questions, suggestions, and thoughts about how you work. Let's compare methods and learn from each other. Write to us at info[at]texasafterviolence[dot]org . 1.
