Episode 12: Sampled Beginnings
In this episode, we dug into the not insignificant vaults at ICPSR to show off part of a series of interviews conducted by StoryCorps, a non-profit dedicated to gathering and archiving interviews of everyday people. Abay Israel and Kilsang Kim talk about their earliest memories of ICPSR and what keeps bringing people back even decades later. A transcript for this episode is available (pdf).
Additional resources mentioned in this episode:
- The ICPSR Collection in StoryCorps
- 2016 Latino Immigrant National Election Study also known as (LINES). This is a panel study of Latino foreign-born residents of the United States. It includes variables like, “Do you think that what happens generally to Hispanic people in this country will affect you a lot, a little, not very much, or not at all?” This is an incredible study and really important for research into immigration, politics, voting, all kinds of things.
- ICPSR has some great new Research Spotlights in the ICPSR Bibliography of Data-Related Literature, including three new spotlights including Mental Health, Criminal Justice and Physical Health, all three of those focus on the LGBTQ population.
