    The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath
    (University of Oregon, 2018) Reyes-Santos, Alaí; Gimm, Vickie; Zafar, Bareerah
    The UO Puerto Rico Project: Hurricane Maria and its Aftermath started as a twelve-month long collaborative endeavor with students in the Ethnic Studies course “Race, Ethics, Justice” taught in Fall 2017 at University of Oregon. This project was inspired by students’ desire to intervene in the public debates about Puerto Ricans’ lack of access to basic resources in the aftermath of Hurricane María. Student teams fundraised to send a delegation to Puerto Rico to deliver donations and document stories in Caguas, Bayamón, Morovis, Utuado, Mayagüez, Santurce and Isla de Cabra. They produced educational resources and stories to share through this website with the general public, teachers, and professor. We humbly hope that these are conversation starters that will inspire others to create their own archives and document their own stories across generations.
