We are excited to announce new additions to the Uganda Collection – the Oral Histories Project and a new 6-episode podcast series on Ugandan Asian Refugees in Canada.
As a part of MacOdrum Library’s Researcher in Residence program, Dr. Shezan Muhammedi conducted oral history interviews that have now been uploaded to the Archives & Special Collections new Institutional Repository collection along with all of our previous Uganda Collection oral histories. You can access all the oral histories here.
At the same time, Dr. Muhammedi, along with the help of Leona Ding, produced 6 podcast episodes that draw from the oral histories to highlight the experiences of Ugandan Asian refugees in Canada. The podcast series is available here.
The Library is tremendously grateful for the work that happened over the course of the Researcher in Residence program, for the Ugandan Asian refugee community and for everyone who supported the various pieces throughout the process.
Importantly, the podcasts will make visible the Ugandan Asian refugee community within Canada and the importance of kindness, support and humanity that links us all together.
