Request for Interviews for Dissertation Research
My name is Liz Adamo. I am a Ph.D. student in History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (USA). I would like to interview people in Paris between June 9-July 17, 2017 related to my dissertation, "Race and Sub-Saharan Migration to France, 1973-1995." My research examines how the migration of people from Sub-Saharan Africa and a growing animosity towards immigrants during the 1980s and 1990s has affected ideas about race, blackness and gender in contemporary France. Oral history interviews with French people of French and Sub-Saharan African descent regarding their ideas about race, blackness, and gender are critical to my dissertation. I am fluent in French and have knowledge of Wolof. I can be contacted by email at [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Je m'appelle Liz Adamo. Je suis étudiante en doctorat d'histoire à l'University of Illinois à Urbana-Champaign (USA). Je voudrais mener des entretiens à Paris et ses environs entre le 9 juin et le 17 juillet 2017 pour ma thèse intitulée, "Race and Sub-Saharan Migration to France, 1973-1995." Ma recherche examine comment la migration des gens de l'Afrique sous-saharienne et l'animosité croissante contre l'immigration pendant les années 80 et 90 affectaient les idées vers la race et le fait d'être noir en France. Les entretiens de l'histoire orale sont cruciales pour ma thèse. Je parle couramment le français et un peu de Wolof. Je pourrais être contacté à [email protected]. Merci d'avance de votre attention.
