Biography

Christine K. Lemley is an Associate Professor in the College of Education at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, AZ, USA. Her work focuses on social justice and equity issues, primarily with Indigenous and undocumented populations. She uses critical oral history to address issues of power, structure, and agency to amplify unheard (or unlistened to) voices.

"... the value of Practicing Critical Oral History rests in students’ raised consciousness through the process."
