For her project on the LGBTQ Oral History Digital Collaboratory, Professor Elspeth Brown created a collaborative laboratory where team members came together to share work, ideas and new knowledge concerning the creation of LGBTQ oral histories in the digital age.
Wanting to create a diverse team for her “collaboratory”, Professor Brown reached out to members of the LGBTQ student community at U of T by creating fliers, sharing announcements and engaging in conversations with community members, thereby raising awareness of and access to the research opportunity.
