Description
Club Kali, a historic safe space for the South Asian LGBTQ+ community, is celebrating its 30th anniversary with a series of outputs including events, oral history interviews, a podcast series, archive creation and an exhibition at Islington Museum. These events honour the club’s role in fostering inclusion, resilience, and community over the decades.
We are seeking 3-4 students to analyse a series of South Asian LGBTQ+ oral histories. This is an exciting opportunity to work with brand new oral histories, find parallels and draw out overarching themes. For those interested, the role may extend beyond the analysis phase, providing the chance to produce outputs for multi-media channels such as podcasts and exhibitions.
Duties
- Conduct quantitative analysis with oral histories collected by the Club Kali team.
- Find parallels, draw out overarching themes and present a cohesive narrative.
- Liaise with the Podcasts and Exhibitions teams to suggest materials for use.
- Opportunity to contribute to producing outputs with the Podcasts and Exhibition teams.
Who will the volunteers be working with?
The Project Manager Shaan Knan (he/him); The Project Steering Committee; project partners (including Bishopsgate Institute; SocialBroadcasts; Islington Museum); other project volunteers
Training
Further ‘hands-on’ training will be arranged via our project partners once the teams have been established (e.g. exhibition curation or podcast production).
Time commitment
Weekly progress is expected, but specific hours will be decided with volunteers. Students can be flexible with their hours around their studies.
