Peter Glendinning, The Fisher Body Oral History Project

The Fisher Body Oral History Project began in 2005, when Prof. John Beck and a team from the Michigan State University School of Labor and Industrial Relations worked with leadership and members of United Auto Workers Local 602, to train UAW members in techniques of oral history interviewing.  The UAW members solicited their peers, along with people in management and those who lived and worked in the neighborhood, to create an astonishing audio record of life as it related to the Fisher Body Plant.  I discovered the interviews and have listened to all of them, edited those for interviewees whom I have photographed to create sound pictures that are true to themselves and also relate to the larger concept of life related to Fisher Body.

I am interested in how the most ordinary situations in the lives of others are of interest to those of us who do not experience such things in our own lives.
