How to read an institutional timeline
Identify dates, missing voices, and the policy shifts hidden between official milestones.
Where does a right begin?
Trace a legal question from statute to case law to the lived effect on a person.
Build an oral history prompt
Design respectful questions that make room for memory, uncertainty, and the storyteller's control.
Reading photographs as evidence
Look beyond the subject: ask who made the image, who is absent, and what the frame protects.
