JACQUELINE TAYLOR: This semester I learned far more about oral history,
journalistic conduct and capabilities, and general speaking than I imagined I
would in a one-credit research course, and particularly in just one semester.
Each of the two interviews I conducted were unique and polar to one another,
which allowed me to develop and use different methodologies to conduct the
interviews by way of interacting with the interviewee, pre-interview background
researching, designing and asking appropriate questions, and proper social
tactics. My personal takeaway encompasses the knowledge, importance, and respect
I learned of oral history, but also the experiences of meeting and talking with
the inspiring individuals I interviewed that incited personal introspection of
my own life. My research with the Oral History department at Samford University,
and thereby the Birmingham Botanical Gardens too, has already helped me, and
will help me to be a better journalist, scientist, and person of this society.
