Join us as Holyoke Community College students from Professor Martinez’s ANT 255 class titled UnNatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? present their oral history projects. Two teams gathered data for two projects – one, about the experience of Holyokers during the COVID-19 pandemic; and the other on how Holyoke living conditions impact health. Students from – ANT 101: Cultural Anthropology and ANT 114: Understanding Diversity – also collected interviews with Holyoke residents and workers for both of these projects.
