New Project Tries To Give Voices To Underrepresented Central Coast Residents

A new project is trying to give voices to underrepresented communities on the Central Coast.

Some faculty and staff members at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo established what they are calling the Central Coast Public Humanities Collaborative.

They are hoping to create a space where people can share their stories through interviews, photographs, or writing.  The effort includes workshops to show people how to document their experiences.  The initial focus has been on how people have been dealing with the COD-19 pandemic.
