Work with Us — Louisiana Trans Oral History Project

It’s Easy:

(1) Fill out the new interviewee form on this page

(2) We’ll be in touch to schedule an interview (We usually reserve about 1.5-2 hours to talk.)

(3) We’ll create transcripts

(4) You review the transcripts (We don’t share anything you don’t want share.)

(5) We ask your permission to use the interview on the website and for related projects (zines, promotion, that sort of thing)

(6) We help you donate the interview to LSU’s T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History for long-term preservation

Please use this form to let us know a little about yourself, this will help us get the process started, and help us form questions that are relevant.

What Does Being Trans in Louisiana Mean to You?

This question is big, for sure, and complicated. We're asking so that we have some idea of how to formulate interview questions for you. (Also, of course, we're really interested in these things!)
