UNC Carolina Population Center

Interviews

One of the primary research methods for the Carolina Population Center History Project was to collect oral histories from select persons who have contributed to CPC's development. The interviews are instrumental in understanding the Center's history. Interviews were conducted by Grace Camblos, a graduate student in Journalism at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Content from some of the interviews has been selected for the audio- and video-clips included here. A segment transcript is also provided. A list of interviewees is provided below.
