As part of the life story project, each student was required to seek permission from the interviewee to present his/her life story (in part or in whole) on the course website. As part of this process, each student was required to present a copy of selected excerpts to the interviewee prior to website posting. Interviewees were encouraged to make changes to the interview transcripts if they felt so inclined. This process, which students took very seriously, was meant to facilitate the sharing of power between interviewers and interviewees. It was also meant to ensure that interviewees were satisfied with their life stories as presented in textual form.
