That handsome smiling lad you see herTravis Williams, Anthropologiste is  Travis Williams. He is an anthropologist specializing in farm stewardship projects, and he's visiting Asheville!  

Travis is leading a workshop on how to conduct oral history interviews presented by the Appalachian Foods Storybank,  a program of Slow Food Asheville,

This attractive event begins with a potluck lunch and then entertains an introduction to the theory and process of oral history projects.

Oral history is a field that combines the arts and sciences of anthropology, storytelling, journalism, and academic history.

Travis is set to discuss  practical concerns, such as equipment and planning, as well as topics of ethics, legalities, and interview etiquette, the rudimentary concepts and procedures that one should know when preparing to get involved with an oral history project.

About the Presenter, Travis Williams. Travis Williams was educated in anthropology at The Evergreen State College in Washington State and has organized several related projects. His most recent project was entitled Stewards: Stories and Perspectives On American Agriculture, in which he interviewed over 160 agriculturalists across the USA, gathering a wide diversity of perspectives on farming, past and present. He was a radio interviewer for several years in Bend, Oregon; other projects include interview-based explorations of the ideas of "community" in Oregon and on "what it means to be foreign" in Indonesia and Australia.

janeAnne,

What a great story about Travis Williams. That young man has leadership and great things in his future - I just know it! Travis sounds so educated and well-rounded. We need people like him to pave the way to better our world through the knowledge of academic history, storytelling, sciences of anthropology, and journalism. I hope the workshop will be a success!

Hi janeAnne~ Travis went to a very forward thinking and progressive Liberal Arts college! Evergreen State College was formed with experimental programs that didn't use grades to evaluate students. 

The people who choose Evergreen are known as "Greeeners" and generally possess an Earth friendly moral compass!

Thanks for sharing Asheville's Eco-Friendly event including Travis Williams!
