The Women Who Rock: Making Scenes, Building Community Oral History Archive

Women Who Rock: Making Scenes, Building Community Oral History Archive brings together scholars, musicians, media-makers, performers, artists, and activists to explore the role of women and popular music in the creation of cultural scenes and social justice movements in the Americas and beyond. This multifaceted endeavor reshapes conventional understandings of music and cultural production by initiating collective methods of research, teaching, and community and scholarly collaboration. It encompass several interwoven components: an annual participant-driven, community engagement conference and film festival; project-based coursework at the graduate and undergraduate levels; and an oral history archive that ties the various components together.

The Women Who Rock Digital Oral History Archive fosters the development of participant-driven scholarship, on-line exhibits, curriculum, and media production. This collection will expand as it continues to conduct more oral histories, generate more programming, and create new media and scholarship in coming years.

Unconference keynote speakers have included: Alice Bag, Legendary Medusa, Nobuko Miyamoto, and Evelyn Harris.
