Welcome to the Amplifying identities, the podcast, my name is Dr. Priscilla Martinez and I am a postdoctoral fellow and faculty member in the Department of History at the University of Texas at San Antonio. And I’m a specialist in the US-Mexico borderlands as well as a trained oral, public, and digital historian.

And, this semester, Spring 2024, I have the privilege of teaching one of my dream courses titled, “Digital History: Storytelling and Podcasting.” Don’t worry I won’t bore you with all the digital theories and historical methods covered by the course. Instead, in this podcast Amplifying Identities, I’d like to share with you some of the stories my students and I uncovered and constructed during our class.

In this, our first season, we focused on local San Antonio history in the late-nineteenth and throughout the twentieth centuries as we worked with several local archives including the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas A&M San Antonio, the San Antonio African American Community Archive and Museum, and our very own Special Collections at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

This limited podcast series produced by Dr. Priscilla Martinez and her students for her HIS 3583: Digital History class in Spring 2024.
