Oral History Interviews

In 1993, Yale Divinity School student Joyce Trickett undertook a project, supported by the Yale Divinity School Women's Center, to record interviews with women alumnae of Yale Divinity School about their experiences at YDS and beyond. According to Trickett, "The project celebrates the rich heritage of YDS women who have paved the way for those of us who follow. By their model, we are encouraged to make new pathways to the future." It was dedicated to the Rev. Joan Bates Forsberg. Much of the inspiration for this exhibition came from these interviews, which here can be enjoyed in their entirety, either aurally or by transcript.
