Below is just a sample of the many stories collected to help us convey the complicated story of our struggle for identity. Audiograms are roughly 1 minute in length, while video shorts are 2-3 minutes long. These story excerpts are drawn from our collection of oral histories and selected because they illustrate the major themes of our research and the continued struggle for identity in compelling ways. For more stories, please browse the Oral Histories on this site or view the whole Stories of UTSC collection.
