Our goal is to create a repository of our collective memory, easily accessible to the general public.</p> <p> </p> <p>We believe that oral traditions have shaped the identities and experiences of human beings. That is why we are interested in reaching beyond traditional narratives to enrich our shared past by telling individual memories, experiences, and stories that show alternative chronologies, which are both deeply personal and fundamentally universal.</p> <p> </p> <p>We would love for you to participate in this project as a narrator of your family’s migration story. If you are a <strong>first- or second-generation immigrant of Mexican descent</strong> in the United States, and you would like to interview one or more of your family members, please reach out and sign up.</p> <p> </p> <p>A professional historian and a professional writer will be coaching you on how to interview, narrate, and find your better voice and style to communicate your story with your own words. We will have <strong>two free weekly sessions</strong> (Monday and Wednesday, 7:00-9:00 PM ET) via zoom, from <strong>September 13 to October 29, 2021</strong>.</p> <p> </p> <p>To get to know you better, in the form that appears in the link, please write a free-flowing letter, maximum one page long telling us more about your story and why you are interested in participating in this project.</p> <p> </p> <p>Register here: <a href="https://forms.gle/UbFeBqFDdoQzLEo27">https://forms.gle/UbFeBqFDdoQzLEo27</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Registration deadline: September 10, 2021.

Nosotros también queremos ir más allá: queremos crear un repositorio de fácil acceso para el público en general donde estén estas historias: la tuya y la de tu familia, profundamente personal y fundamentalmente universal.</p> <p> </p> <p>Si te interesa entrevistar a uno o a varios miembros de tu familia y participar en este proyecto narrando su historia, y <strong>eres primera o segunda generación</strong> <strong>migrante</strong> mexicana en Estados Unidos, súmate a este proyecto.</p> <p> </p> <p>Una historiadora y un escritor estarán dando un curso, <strong>del 13 de septiembre al 29 de octubre</strong> de 2021, en <strong>dos sesiones semanales</strong> (lunes y miércoles de 7:00 a 9:00 PM ET) vía zoom para ayudarte a contar de la mejor manera posible esa historia familiar que quieres compartir.
